Co-production of the City: Transdisciplinary Urban Justice
Cities have diverse and dynamic populations, activities and spatial configurations and this influences what urban justice is and what we can do to enhance it. In this video it is argued that for all cities a transdisciplinary approach is very important for unravelling the meaning of urban justice.
The example of Rotterdam shows how challenging it is to enhance urban justice and that the policy makers, residents and academics all perceive its meaning differently. It is timely to establish communities in various cities that gather people across stakeholder groups, with different views and backgrounds to start addressing the various contemporary crises by tackling a basic question: what is the meaning of urban justice in my city and what is our call to action?
