Lecture by apl. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Weith at the University of Bayreuth as part of the GIB Lecture Series on the Great Transformation
What can justice mean in a spatial context? And what are the possibilities for "implementation"? These were central questions of the lecture on January 17, 2023 in Bayreuth with about 30 participants with subsequent discussion. The existing lines of discussion from Geography, Spatial Planning Studies, Law / Equality, Land Use, Environmental Justice, Ecosystem Services, Energy Justice and Digitalization were pointed out. In the second part of the presentation, a further development of the understanding of the term and the derivation of recommendations for concrete use cases was proposed. Special importance was attached to the fair urban-rural balance, a current topic in the distribution of subsidies or area-related coordination processes in the designation of commercial areas.
The exchange with colleagues in Bayreuth on the topic of spatial justice and transformation, in particular with Prof. Dr. Manfred Miosga, is to be continued.
