The projects in this research group address a variety of visible and invisible interventions in urban space, understood as both causes and consequences of existing inequalities, local tensions and social contestations. Spatial interventions relate, for example, to a sudden ban on the use of public space for leisure activities, the implementation of security measures, a notable rise in the construction of expensive residential buildings, or the touristification of cemeteries. As these interventions are steered by larger policies and politics, the research projects examine how, exactly, spatial justice struggles develop.
