ABSTRACT 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.

多个尺度的程序性环境(不)公正:检查移民倡导改善生活条件

摘要 近年来,许多环境正义学者已经记录了分配不公正,而程序正义问题则鲜有探讨。例如,移民和新移民不成比例地经历不合标准的住房条件和住房市场的歧视,但很少有研究研究移民社区如何寻求改善他们的生活条件或参与相关的治理和倡导过程。本文通过对多伦多内城区 Rexdale 的居民、社区组织者和社会服务机构代表的访谈和焦点小组,研究移民和新移民如何反应或采取行动来大规模改善高层社区的条件他们的住房单元、高层建筑和社区。通过程序正义的视角,移民和新移民所经历的累积的、多尺度的不公正被揭示出来。调查结果显示,除了增加新移民参与住房和社区改善工作的机会外,还存在阻碍移民参与倡导和其他改善生活条件的方式的障碍和障碍。
