Spatial Justice Conceptual Model

The Spatial Justice Conceptual Model (SJCM) is based on an extensive literature review at the intersection of justice, spatial justice, and planning. The SJCM conceptualises Spatial Justice by defining applicable components and goals of for each justice dimension (Recognition, Procedural, and Distributive). When approached as an analytical framework, it allows for a structured and comprehensive way of assessing how aspects of spatial justice are considered in planning and design, while drawing attention to the underlying components that build each dimension.
