The resulting consent decree forced the MTA for a period of ten years to essentially reorient the mass transit system to better serve the city's poorest residents. A stunning reversal of conventional governance and planning in urban America, which almost always favors wealthier residents, this decision is also, for renowned urban theorist Edward W. Soja, a concrete example of spatial justice in action.In Seeking Spatial Justice , Soja arGlobalization and community ;16.Social justiceJustice, Administration ofSpace perceptionGeographical perceptionElectronic books.Social justice.Justice, Administration of.Space perception.Geographical perception.304.2/3Soja Edward W242718MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459204403321Seeking spatial justice2166453UNINA
