Spatial Justice Aotearoa is an independent research organisation dedicated to advancing spatial justice across Aotearoa New Zealand.

We work at the intersection of research, policy, and practice; producing rigorous, evidence-based insights that support more equitable outcomes in our cities and communities. Our work spans housing, urban development, transport, and the systems that shape how people experience place.

As an independent organisation, we are not tied to any single institution, sector, or agenda. This allows us to take a long-term, kaupapa-driven approach, working alongside iwi, communities, public agencies, and industry partners to shift narratives and support meaningful change.
