Özet

The general aim of this project is to develop a philosophical approach for the evaluation of public policies in the built environment. This entails a normative and practical research on the principles involved in what we could broadly term an urban theory of justice. The idea of urban justice has been often considered from the perspective of local justice, namely as democratic participation and decentralized allocation of scarce goods in urban contexts. The distributive aspect of urban planning and participatory budgeting refers, however, to a broader dimension: spatial justiceThis project launches out with the hypothesis that, in order to tackle the normative problems involved in the redress of urban inequality and exclusion, we need to gain a spatial perspective on the idea of justice. Such approach cannot limit itself to distributive or recognitional aspects, but it should include the praxiological issues that empower the individuals as functional social agents in an urban context. Rather than conceiving of collective action merely as a strategic game for the rival consumption of limited goods (like urban space or services), we should broaden the theoretical scope to consider the nature of common pool resources in the city, the dynamics behind their material and symbolic production, and the forms of social exclusion based on spatial factors.
