Towards just planning
Though scholars often argue that the relationship between procedural and distributive justice is crucial in planning practice, conceptual and empirical contributions are rare in the literature.In this paper, we suggest an analytical framework to better understand how procedural and distributive justice are interrelated in local development actions.Drawing on empirical findings from 22 case studies across Europe we identify promoting and inhibitin…
New peripheries in the making? Analysing German cities from the lens of a suburbanisation of poverty
In this paper we discuss evidence on new socio-spatial patterns in the relation between urban and suburban areas due to the involuntary outward residential mobility of low-income households from central urban areas. Our findings build upon research in three German cities from a comparative perspective, with interviews with local experts providing the main source of information. For analysing decentralisation or suburbanisation of poverty processe…
Place-based development and spatial justice
Within EU cohesion policy, a place-based approach is expected to promote a strategic shift towards more place-sensitive, cross-sectoral and socially inclusive development. These expectations are underlined in the new Territorial Agenda 2030, which highlights that a place-based approach is key to territorial cohesion and to overall efforts towards a just Europe. Drawing on findings from the Horizon 2020 project RELOCAL – Resituating the local in c…
Having a voice and a place
In small towns with ageing societies, the voices of the young often tend to get marginalized in local policy discourse. The paper explores how young people are trying to counter this trend through the creation of a self-organized youth and sociocultural centre in Görlitz, a town that suffered major transformation in the aftermath of German reunification. Görlitz also made national headlines when a Eurosceptic right-wing party gained a large share…
Can digitalization be a tool to overcome spatial injustice in sparsely populated regions? The cases of Digital Västerbotten (Sweden) and Smart Country Side (Germany)
Many sparsely-populated regions in Europe are or perceive that they are left behind because of a reduced presence of public and private services in the area in comparison to more densely-populated urban areas. One solution that has been proposed to overcome issues of spatial injustice in these areas is the digitalization of public services. The use of new technologies can be a means to provide similar services in rural as in urban areas and to re…
People, Place, and Politics
This article takes a nuanced look at the role played by neighbourhood characteristics and local policies in facilitating or limiting the ways in which diversity‐oriented middle‐class families interact and deal with people of lower social classes in mixed‐class inner‐city neighbourhoods. The study draws on interviews and social network analysis conducted in neighbourhoods with different socio‐economic characteristics in the German cities of Hanove…
Together apart' or 'apart together'? - middle-class parents' choice of playgrounds and playground interactions in socially diverse neighbourhoods
Taking an everyday life setting, namely playgrounds, as a starting point, the paper foregrounds a nuanced analysis of the internal differentiations of the middle class's positioning in regard to social diversity. In so doing, the paper contributes to debates on contemporary segregation research, (dis-)affiliation of the middle classes in inner-city diverse neighbourhoods and geographies of encounter. Empirical findings are based on an analysis of…
Being Good Parents or Being Good Citizens
In recent years, cities have become ever more attractive to middle-class families. On the one hand, middle-class families tend to withdraw into (often newly built) socially homogeneous middle-class neighbourhoods. On the other hand, they are also known to move into inner-city and socially mixed areas, thus triggering processes of gentrification. Academic literature has often denounced these housing choices as being either 'separatist' or 'revanch…
