Definition

Urban social justice is an interdisciplinary research field and academic concept that critically examines the distribution of resources, opportunities, risks, and power within urban environments. It investigates how social inequalities, based on factors such as race, class, gender, and other dimensions of identity, are produced, perpetuated, and challenged through urban processes, policies, and spatial configurations, with the aim of understanding and fostering more equitable and just urban futures.
