The IMAJINE session will deal with the question: How to address territorial inequalities in order to allocate resources following the principles of social and spatial justice?
In order to answer this question, following topics are welcome:
- measurement and understanding spatial (in)justice and territorial inequalities at national, regional or local level;
- quantification of the impact of the economic crisis, the austerity policies or the COVID-19 on territorial inequalities, especially in relation to the different models of territorial governance, sustainable economic development and public service delivery;
- understanding the perceptions of spatial (in)justice vs quantifiable territorial inequalities;
- framing and justifying territorial autonomy movements and their levels of support in relation to the real or perceived spatial (in)justice;
- evaluating the efficacy and appropriateness of current territorial policies and instruments for addressing the challenges of territorial inequalities and spatial justice.
Welcome!
