This chapter explores the potentials and limits of restorative justice in urban settings. The research findings are drawn from two specific urban research sites in Europe: the social housing estates in Vienna (‘Gemeindebau’) and an urban quarter in the heart of Brussels. The shared intuition that guides this common chapter is that urban citizenship is a key concept in aligning restorative justice to urban challenges. The central question of the chapter is how, then, to conceive this notion of urban citizenship, and what is its interpretive and guiding power when observing and exploring concrete restorative interventions.
