Laying out Harvey's position that geography could not remain objective in the face of urban poverty and associated ills, \u003ci\u003eSocial Justice and the City\u003c\/i\u003e is perhaps the most widely cited work in the field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHarvey analyzes core issues in city planning and policy--employment and housing location, zoning, transport costs, concentrations of poverty--asking in each case about the relationship between social justice and space. How, for example, do built-in assumptions about planning reinforce existing distributions of income? Rather than leading him to liberal, technocratic solutions, Harvey's line of inquiry pushes him in the direction of a \"revolutionary geography,\" one that transcends the structural limitations of existing approaches to space. Harvey's emphasis on rigorous thought and theoretical innovation gives the volume an enduring appeal. This is a book that raises big questions, and for that reason geographers and other social scientists regularly return to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Harvey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820334030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820334035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"David Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044546310399,"sku":"9780820334035","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_754a0a46-a1f0-4919-8893-6c2148185224.jpg?v=1684973478","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-justice-and-the-city-david-harvey-9780820334035","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
