Just Urban Design : The Struggle for a Public City Contributions by urban planners sociologists anthropologists architects and landscape architects on the role and scope of urban design in creating more just and inclusive cities. Scholars who write about justice and the city rarely consider the practices and processes of urban design while discourses on urban design often neglect concerns about justice. The editors of Just Urban Design take the position that urban design interventions have direct and important implications for justice in the city. The contributions in this volume contextualize the state of knowledge about urban design for justice stress inclusivity as the key to justice in the city affirm community participation and organizing as cornerstones of greater equity and assert that a just urban design must center and privilege our most marginalized individuals and communities.
