Abstract
Spatial (in)justice is characterised as the geography of social (in)justice. The city is a network of ecologies composed of infrastructure, economic ideologies, and wealth. The inequalities that emerge as a by-product of these systems highlight the injustices in London evolving from social, economic and spatial patterns in the form of gentrification. This research positions the London metropolis as a demonstration of political power structures. Derived as a result of neoliberal policies implemented since the late seventies and thus becoming a driver of social class inequality. The relationship between architecture and socio-spatial conditions will be addressed in this research and effect, an architectural intervention will be proposed as a solution for gentrification.
