Spatial Justice and the Right to the City – An interview with Edward Soja


JSSJ's interview with Edward Soja on Spatial justice and the right to the city.

As someone who has been promoting this spatial turn for many decades, I now want to push it still further, by assertively adding a significant spatial dimension to other kinds of broad debates that have not received a rigorous spatial analysis in the past. This led to my interest in spatializing the inter-related concepts of justice, democracy, citizenship, community struggles and so on, to explore how the spatial perspective might open up new possibilities, new ways of thinking about these traditionally important concepts and ideas. This is one way to explain why I insist on using spatial to describe justice.
