Cities the world over and in particular developing countries suffer
from uneven development and inequality. This is often coupled with
the view that these inequalities constitute unfortunate anomalies.
In contrast, this edited volume draws out the ways in which the
city has not been able to exist without its margins, both
materially, ideationally, and socially. In this book the margins
are, first, the mirrors of the city and, second, a fundamental
route through which various centers can legitimate and sustain
their power. Contemporary case studies are compared to a number of
those from history with the accent on Asia, Africa and the Middle
East, and engage with the underlying theoretical questions of what
is the urban margin and what is marginality in urban society and
spaces?
