Kean University The Socio Spatial Approach Discussion

Discussion Board directions

• Pick one of the urban social problems discussed in the assigned reading – i.e., racism, poverty, affordable housing, crime, or public health.
• Find a news article that features the problem you chose (in the context of today’s urban regions);
• Copy and paste the link of the article you found and provide a summary of it (two or three sentences is enough);
• Explain how the news article you chose and the problem featured there can be interpreted through the sociospatial approach. In other words, you have to show to the reader the ways in which the configuration of the space impacts the problem, the ways in which the spatial environment plays a role in the situation at stake.
