The intensification of intersecting climate, health, housing, and cost-of-living crisis has normalised urban ‘crisis’ and created new levels of precarity and vulnerability. Compounded by years of underfunding of the housing sector and public infrastructures, urban environments are increasingly posing a threat to the health and well-being of urban residents.
How can urban research and collaboration advance a more just agenda for urban living and well-being? What kinds of alliances are necessary to support resistant and resilient communities in the face of urban struggle?
The Just Urban Alliance addresses the uneven condition of vulnerability and uncertainty that characterises urban living in the 21st century by asking what just urbanism means today. We are dedicated to furthering decolonial and intersectional justice through alliance building and collaborative research that activates knowledge and mobilises action to the betterment and improvement of urban life today and in the future.
