商品描述

Despite the significance of urban justice in planning research and practice, how just societies and cities can be organised and achieved remains contested. Spatial justice provides an integrative and unifying theory concerning place, policies, people and their interplay, but ambiguities about its practical bases have undermined its application in planning. Through creating and substantiating a new conceptual framework comprising a morphological study, policy analysis and embodiment research, this book crystallises the spatiality of (in)justice and (in)justice of spatiality in the context of social housing redevelopment.


Like many countries around the world, social housing in Aotearoa New Zealand is an area of contention, especially at the building and redevelopment stages. Protecting community character and human rights has been used by social housing tenants to resist changes, but the primary focus on material outcomes neglects broadening access to planning processes. Compact, mixed tenure and sustainable (re)developments are regarded as the just built environment, as they enable equal accessibility to all. But there are contradictions between the planned spatiality of justice and individuals' socialised sensory space. Reconciliation of morphological differentiations in built forms and social cohesion remains a challenging task.


This book focuses on the re-examination, integration and transferability of spatial justice. It makes a new contribution to urban justice theory by strengthening spatial justice and planning. Social housing areas are expected to adapt to changing social and economic demands while retaining much-valued established community character. This book also provides practical strategies for tackling complex planning problems in social housing redevelopment.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

儘管城市正義在規劃研究和實踐中具有重要意義,但如何組織和實現公正的社會和城市仍然存在爭議。空間正義提供了一個關於地點、政策、人員及其相互作用的整合性和統一性理論,但對其實際基礎的模糊性削弱了其在規劃中的應用。通過創建和證實一個新的概念框架,該框架包括形態學研究、政策分析和具身研究,本書在社會住房重建的背景下,明確了(不)正義的空間性和空間的(不)正義。

與世界上許多國家一樣,紐西蘭的社會住房是一個有爭議的領域,特別是在建設和重建階段。保護社區特徵和人權被社會住房租戶用來抵抗變化,但對物質結果的主要關注忽視了擴大規劃過程的可及性。緊湊的混合所有權和可持續的(重)開發被視為公正的建成環境,因為它們使所有人都能平等地獲得。然而,計劃中的正義空間性與個體的社會化感官空間之間存在矛盾。調和建成形式中的形態差異與社會凝聚力仍然是一項具有挑戰性的任務。

本書專注於空間正義的重新檢視、整合和可轉移性。它通過加強空間正義和規劃,為城市正義理論做出了新的貢獻。社會住房區域預期能夠適應不斷變化的社會和經濟需求,同時保留珍貴的既有社區特徵。本書還提供了應對社會住房重建中複雜規劃問題的實用策略。
