Distributional injustices have been documented by many environmental justice scholars in recent years, while procedural justice issues remain less explored. For instance, immigrants and newcomers disproportionately experience substandard housing conditions and discrimination in the housing market, but few studies have examined how immigrant communities are seeking to improve their living conditions or engage in related governance and advocacy processes. Drawing upon interviews and focus groups with residents, community organisers and representatives from social service agencies in Rexdale, an inner suburb of Toronto, this paper examines how immigrants and newcomers are reacting or taking action to improve conditions in a high-rise neighbourhood at the scale of their housing units, high-rise buildings, and neighbourhood. Through a procedural justice lens, cumulative, multi-scale injustices experienced by immigrants and newcomers are revealed. Findings reveal obstacles and barriers that are preventing immigrants from engaging in advocacy and other means of improving their living conditions, in addition to opportunities for increasing newcomer participation in housing and neighbourhood improvement efforts.

近年来，许多环境正义学者已经证明了分配不公，而程序正义问题却鲜有探讨。例如，移民和新移民所经历的住房条件和住房市场不合标准的情况不成比例，但很少有研究检查移民社区如何寻求改善其生活条件或参与相关的治理和倡导程序。借助与多伦多市内郊区雷克斯代尔市居民，社区组织者和社会服务机构代表的访谈和焦点小组讨论，本文研究了移民和新移民如何反应或采取行动以改善大规模高层社区的条件他们的住房，高层建筑和社区。通过程序正义的视角，揭示了移民和新移民所累积的，多尺度的不公正现象。调查结果揭示了障碍和障碍，这些障碍和障碍除了增加新移民参与住房和社区改善工作的机会外，还阻止移民进行宣传和其他改善其生活条件的方式。
