Cities are a collection of spaces — and we’re all trying to find a place within them. In this podcast series, The City of Edmonton explores what land uses people engage with, seeking to better understand how our plans and policies shape their experiences. It’ll take the conversation out of the recording studio and into the streets and neighbourhoods where the rubber of policy meets the road. The episodes are stories of actual people and communities whose lives have been impacted by how we plan our cities, and the hard-won lessons of how we can make Edmonton more equitable for everyone.

From nineteenth-century abolitionism to Black Lives Matter today, progressive social movements have been at the forefront of social change. Yet it is seldom recognized that such movements have not only engaged in political action but also posed crucial philosophical questions about the meaning of justice and about how the demands of justice can be met. Michele Moody-Adams argues that anyone who is concerned with the theory or the practice of justice—or both—must ask what can be learned from social movements.
