'Justice in the neo-liberal city' will be delivered by Professor Susan Fainstein, Senior Research Fellow, Harvard Graduate School of Design, USA.
The use of justice as a governing principle—defined by the criteria of equity, diversity, and democracy—would require that policies be evaluated in terms of their consequences for different social groups. Arguments for giving priority to justice in planning will be presented, and policy examples from New York, Amsterdam, and Singapore used to illustrate different planning approaches and their consequences for more just cities.
