Sotsial'naia spravedlivost' i gorod [Social Justice and the City]
Harvey analyzes core issues in city planning and policy?employment and housing location, zoning, transport costs, concentrations of poverty?asking in each case about the relationship between social justice and space. How, for example, do built-in assumptions about planning reinforce existing distributions of income? Rather than leading him to liberal, technocratic solutions, Harvey?s line of inquiry pushes him in the direction of a ?revolutionary geography,? one that transcends the structural limitations of existing approaches to space. Harvey?s emphasis on rigorous thought and theoretical innovation gives the volume an enduring appeal. This is a book that raises big questions, and for that reason geographers and other social scientists regularly return to it.
