In Volume 8 of Projections, MIT’s Journal of Planning, we are excited to bring together articles from academics and practitioners, who theorize, critically reflect on past experiences, and examine the intersection of justice, equity, and sustainability as a framework for planning and action. In this volume, we have welcomed a variety of papers, including critical analyses, theoretical critiques, plans, observations, photo essays and other forms of reflection to encourage a broad approach to how we might understand the complexities and possibilities of achieving sustainability, justice, and equity.
