What is Spatial Justice?

What is spatial justice? Three graduate students — all fellows from the Congress for the New Urbanism/New England chapter — are trying to answer this question. Grecia White and Mridhu Khanna, both of Northeastern University, join Aiyah Josiah-Faeduwor of MIT to define a spatially just society. They each do it through their own lens: transportation, economic development and the environment. They consider how these issues impact the larger societal conversations around race, gender and identity, which has shaped much of our recent debate. They join unPlanned to share what they’ve found out so far.
