This text presents an innovative new way of understanding and changing the unjust geographies in which we live. Soja argues that justice has a geography and that the equitable distribution of resources, services, and access is a basic human right.

La forme et le futur des villes sont vus comme le résultat issu de décisions stratégiques financières, de préférences du consommateur et de réflexes culturels. Cette tendance s'accroit avec la montée du néolibéralisme et du néo-conservatisme dans notre société : les décisions fondamentales concernant l'environnement quotidien sont déterminées par les lois de l'offre et du marché. Peut-on encore avoir une politique urbaine démocratique dans un tel contexte ? Un projet urbain peut-il être conçu dans le cadre d'une politique collective et non uniquement en réponse à des marges de profit ? Le Bureau de théorie architecturale BAVO a réunit les contributions de divers intervenants (géographes, philosophes, sociologues, architectes ...) qui analysent la politique urbaine en l'associant à différents thèmes résurgents : violence, hédonisme, polarisation socioéconomique... Des pistes pour que la ville redevienne le pilote de décisions démocratiques au lieu de ratifier des statu quo sont proposées. In Urban Politics Now, the Rotterdam-based "architect philosophers" Gideon Boie and Matthias Pauwels--otherwise known as The BAVO Bureau for Architectural Theory--issue a challenge to sociologists, social geographers, philosophers, urban planners and architects, asking, "What ails contemporary urban politics?" Boie and Pauwels involve a few global heavy-hitters whose lengthy, hyphenated titles signal their engagement with multiple disciplines, like Slovenian-born philosopher, sociologist and cultural theorist Slavoj Zizek--who, a few years ago, wrote some Lacanian-style copy for an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue to accompany Bruce Weber's mildly salacious photographs--and New York's Neil Smith, who trained as a geographer and now teaches urban, cultural and environmental anthropology at the CUNY Graduate Center. Having stated as part of their mission that, "It is only by conceiving architecture as a symptom that its potential to make a difference in society can be assessed and/or enhanced," BAVO asks here if democratic urban politics are possible in the contemporary climate--with neoliberals and neoconservatives on the rise, environmental concerns on everyone's mind and an eruption of increasingly heated cultural differences plaguing every city in the world. If the symptoms of such ills are violence, socioeconomic disparities and hedonistic consumerism, what are the cures? An ability to reconfigure familiar disciplines seems a good start.
