Critical Planning Volume 14 Now Available
Posted on June 11, 2007
Critical Planning Volume 14 brings together articles from academics and practitioners to theorize and examine the application of spatial justice as a framework for action. “Spatial justice” is an emergent concept, variously explored in fields as diverse as urban planning, architecture, sociology, geography, and others. Critical Planning defines spatial justice as the “fair and democratic distribution of societal benefits and burdens across spaces of various scales.” Spatial justice strengthens concepts of social justice by recognizing that space is socially produced, and that space, in turn, shapes social relations.

The Critical Planning Journal was established in 1993 to serve as a forum for the urban planning community to present current research interests, debate important issues, and share ideas about the field of urban planning. Over the years, the Critical Planning staff has expanded to include doctoral and masters students in the UCLA Department of Urban Planning, as well as a few Urban Planning students at the University of Southern California. During this period, the journal has developed from a publication produced largely by a few individuals to one that is product of a collective of about twenty students.
The Journal is distributed for free to all students in the Department of Urban Planning, and is sold to the outside community. Special rates are available for UCLA alumni and non-UCLA students. Email inquiries and orders to: avab@ucla.edu
