"We are interested in examining the possibility of envisioning and delivering social, spatial, and environmental justice in cities," write the editors of Just Urban Design, whose collection brings together insights from urban planners, sociologists, anthropologists, architects, and landscape architects. Necessary scholarship on inclusivity and participation that counters exclusionary practices endemic to the 20th-century city, the book provides foundational grounding on "urban design for justice" and contemporary reflections. A chapter by the landscape theorist Alison B. Hirsch, ASLA, uses the events of 2020 and the police killing of George Floyd to reframe the sites of the 1992 uprisings in Los Angeles as cultural landscapes of memory and resistance.
