Spatial justice

Spatial justice

Spatial justice concerns working to achieve an equal geographical distribution of society's wants and needs, such as job opportunities, access to health care, good air quality, et cetera. This is of particular concern in regions where the population has difficulty moving to a more spatially just location due to poverty, discrimination, or political restrictions (such as apartheid pass laws). Even in free, developed nations, access to many places is limited. Geographer Don Mitchell points to the mass privatization of once-public land as a common example of spatial injustice.
