ReviewsThis study examines issues of spatial justice and public open spaces in informal settlements in the Global South through a case study of Comuna 13 in Medellín, Colombia. It explores open spaces and informal settlements in Latin America and how they support spatial justice and people's quality of life, looking at their design, production, use, and management in the context of governmental upgrading programs that aim to reduce poverty in an integral manner. It considers how spatial justice can be conceived in the context of governmental upgrading initiatives in informal settlements in Latin America and how public open spaces increase spatial justice and quality of life in informal settlements. It discusses the material configuration, production, management, and use of open spaces and informal settlements in the context of in-situ governmental upgrading initiatives from a spatial justice perspective based on valuing the social and material achievements of settlers as a contribution to urban life and culture and the design of cities. It focuses on people's experiences in public open spaces, as well as the assessments, value judgments, and interpretations they offer regarding the upgrading process in terms of the quality of the material space; the process of its production; the way it is maintained, managed, and regulated; and the use of the space and how it is connected to the everyday lives and practices of people in informal settlements.

SynopsisSpatial Justice and Informal Settlements: Integral Urban Projects in the Comunas of Medell n links the discourses of informal urbanism and spatial justice in the context of public space-based governmental programmes to upgrade informal settlements in Latin America. It argues for the importance of combining measures for equity and empowerment with positive recognition, i.e. recognition which is based on valuing the social and material achievements of the settlers as a contribution to urban life and culture in its own right. It presents an inquiry into how public open spaces serve the goal of increasing spatial justice and the quality of life in informal settlements. It provides an in-depth study of the Integral Urban Project (Proyecto Urbano Integral/PUI in Spanish) in Comuna 13, a low-income settlement in Medell n, Colombia. Drawing on extensive fieldwork to understand people's everyday spaces and socio-spatial practices, the book assesses the design, production, use, and management of some of the public open spaces established under the PUI programme. It thus also offers an account of the diversity of everyday open spaces and landscapes in this informal settlement. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of open spaces in informal settlements and spatial justice, especially for scholars, researchers, and graduate students with an interest in urban development and upgrading and related socio-spatial issues in Latin America., Spatial Justice and Informal Settlements: Integral Urban Projects in the Comunas of Medellín links the discourses of informal urbanism and spatial justice in the context of public space-based governmental programmes to upgrade informal settlements in Latin America.
