Perspectives on urban injustice: Revisiting social geographies of justice

This study addresses the social geographies of justice in the urban landscapes of "Occupied Palestine" and critically examines the interwoven dynamics of power, spatial inequality and the pursuit of justice. By examining the complex interplay between urban inequality, resistance, and colonial legacy, it highlights the particular challenges faced by Palestinian communities, including restricted access to services and the systematic dispossession of land. Drawing on the insights of geographers on spatial justice, and incorporating ethnographic perspectives from renowned studies on Palestine, the study offers a nuanced examination of the socio-spatial dimensions of injustice in Palestinian cities. The study seeks to emphasize the crucial role of domestic spaces as sites of resistance and identity formation and to challenge prevailing narratives of occupation. Through this analysis, the study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the social geographies of justice and advocate for the inclusion of marginalized voices in discussions of urban inequality and spatial injustice. Ultimately, the intention is to identify pathways for transformative change to promote a more equitable, inclusive, and resilient urban environment in Palestine and beyond.
