Distributive Environmental Justice in the City: Differential Access in Two Mixed Israeli Cities

Based on high-resolution socio-demographic and infrastructure data, the authors examine access to green spaces in the mixed Jewish-Arab cities of Ramla and Lydda by different socio-economic and ethnic groups. Results show that the Arab minority in these cities has much less access to green spaces than the Jewish majority. The authors believe that their findings can serve as a basis for public debates concerning injustice in urban services allocation, help urban planners achieve a more balanced and fair allocation, and also empower minorities, social organizations and NGOs to act against spatial inequality and social discrimination.
