The Urbanization of Injustice
Abstract
Written by David Harvey 20 years ago, Social Justice and the City linked power and justice in the geographical field, and it had an influence in many related disciplines. But during the two decades since its publication, great changes have taken place in political and urban life. Urban areas are now characterized by the omnipresence of the homeless, by huge disparities in wealth, by a growing underclass and by the exponential increase in people suffering from the effects of AIDS and hard drug use. The contributors are from both sides of the Atlantic, including Harvey himself, they analyze these changes and reconsider the character of urbanism and social justice. They push for an intellectual agenda that rallies around the development of socially just urban practices. The contributors include: Marshall Berman on rap and social justice in America; Doreen Massey on space and identity tensions in the city; and Edward Soja on social justice and the new cultural politics.

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.
