Reframing spatial justice - A co-operative approach for a fair distribution of benefits from PNRR projects.

The research project aims to identify the lack of spatial justice conditions, dealing with the unequal distribution of and access to public resources affecting the Italian territory. Looking at justice from a critical spatial perspective has prompted many countries to map the fair and equitable distribution in space of socially and environmentally valuable resources. In Italy, the main goals of the PNRR are to strengthen cohesion and reduce local, regional, and urban-rural disparities and to resolve territorial imbalances in line with the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights. The proposal aims to tackle the above shortcomings and contribute to the detection of how much the PNRR interventions are reducing disparities and unbalanced spatial and environmental conditions; through a collaborative approach, it seeks to promote the development of strategies of change and an equal spatial transition toward more just territories.
