Danièle Hromek on spatial justice

What is Indigenised spatial justice? The concept of spatial justice may be familiar from cultural geography and urban theory, but what does it mean in the context of Country and Indigenous knowledges? How does this open up ways of thinking and practising that prioritise Country and support equity and justice for Indigenous peoples?

Equity in spaces relies on those designing them to redress the history of architecture and built environments. Spatial equity requires built environment professionals to consider and reverse the role the built environment has played in colonial processes as a useful tool for the colony. This requires attention to be turned towards the justice of space. Spatial justice advocates for the fair and equitable re-distribution in spaces of resources as well as the opportunities to use the resources. Spatial justice is both outcome and process of this re-distribution. Without addressing the biases through which spaces are designed, the spatial structures of privilege and advantage will not be addressed. 

Danièle Hromek yarns with Justine Clark about all this and more.
