David Harvey - Postmodernism, Social Justice, and the City. What kind of political notion of justice can be developed theoretically and practically within the context of the inner city? Does the diversity and fragmentation of the modern city constitute an already 'postmodern scene'? What are the political and socio-economic processes generating inequality within the urban condition? What is social justice? David Harvey examines the connections between such questions while addressing the ways in which different definitions of justice are reflected by public policies and planning.Chaired by James Walter.
Can our cities of the past be adapted to the needs of the future? This is the theme of a two-day conference co-hosted by the Housing and Urbanism programme at the AA, the Sir Robert Menzies Centre for Australian Studies of the University of London, and the National Centre for Australian Studies at Monash University, Victoria.
