This book investigates the intersection of housing policy, urban development, and racial justice to determine how social-spatial arrangements can be reconstructed to foster equitable communities. Ronald R. Sundstrom, a professor of philosophy, utilizes a framework of reconstructive justice to analyze the systemic failures of current housing markets. He argues that traditional approaches to integration and gentrification often fail to address the underlying distributive injustices that perpetuate segregation and inequality in American cities.
