Justice is more than a legal matter: it has spatial and environmental implications and is related to engineering. The concept of ‘spatial justice’ was introduced in 2010 in planning by Eduard Soja. It indicates the accessibility of urban resources such as education and healthcare. Under democratic governments, planning territorial development is supposed to do ‘justice for all’. This position has been challenged by feminist scholars arguing that ‘all’ do not have the same point of departure in society, and Gender-aware planning propose alternatives approaches to integrate diverse uses in spatial planning. It has however not addressed the concept of spatial justice explicitly. The aim of this STSM was to develop a gendered perspective on spatial justice, and to design a training module for spatial justice and gender equality. The STSM has been used to discuss the literature, didactics, key-notion, topics and case-studies. Taking an international perspective we can establish different issues to emphasize in the training. Part of the module has been implemented in the GenderSTE training school in Istanbul, November 2015. Its evaluation allowed to finalise the modules design, which is now available for further implementation.
