| Summary: |
Urban environmental justice combines social and environmental elements, based on the recognition that the unequal spatial and social distribution of negative environmental impacts and the positive implications derived from the application of norms and environmental public policies on protection coexist. The instruments of urban planning have been key to provoking, by action, that socio-environmental inequity. The objective of this work is to relate the environmental and social issue in the framework of urban planning. The urban development has been created from the existence of two phenomena: socio-spatial segregation and environmental injustice, causing in Mexican cities and in many other territories, disadvantaged and vulnerable groups suffer, by government decision, a disproportionate and unequal burden of the effects of environmental degradation due to the authorization low cost housing in sites that present high levels of direct contamination. Worse yet, these same groups do not have the same access to environmental goods. In this way, urban growth has created situations of environmental discrimination or injustice, violating multiple rights of the people living there. |
