Transcending existing paradigms: the quest for justice in urban climate change planning
Abstract
Justice dimensions are integral to research on climate change planning in cities. In this comment piece, we engage with a recently published paper by Hess and McKane [2021. “Making Sustainability Plans More Equitable: An Analysis of 50 US Cities.” Local Environment, 1–16], which examines the integration of equity considerations into sustainability plans in cities in the US. By reflecting on this article, we draw attention to three assumptions that permeate the literature on justice and climate planning in cities. These include: the separation between social and environmental aspirations, viewing the city from a sectoral perspective, and the focus on plans and objectives rather than on actions. We argue that the scholarship needs to move beyond these three assumptions to tackle structural conditions of injustice in cities.

“It fundamentally differs from traditional (i.e., technocratic, sectoral) adaptation planning and practices (Westman and Broto, 2021) by encouraging strategies that support the current and long-term intersecting vulnerable identities and needs of underprivileged groups while creating new opportunities for a more inclusive and resilient city at both the individual and community level.”

“However, another challenge for environmental justice scholars is: how are we going to challenge the structural constraints that shape fundamental injustices in the city? For us, this question is closely related to understandings of justice that emphasise recognition (Fraser 1995; Schlosberg 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
