ABSTRACT
Spatial justice as a concept seems to be at home in many disciplines, such as geography, sociology, law, politics, philosophy and so on. Precisely because of this, its nature, definition, context and repercussions are yet to be worked out to a satisfactory degree. Spatial justice seems to be dwelling in a grey area between impression, occasionally nebulous conceptual thinking, and an understanding that everyone kind of knows what spatial justice and for this reason a definitional engagement might not be worth pursuing. Spatial justice is a capricious thing, and one needs to be very careful in case it becomes yet another tool of co-optation or continuation of the status quo. Spatial justice is a legal concept, to the extent that justice is administered by law and that legal resolutions of conflicts are often felt more like justice than any other resolution.
