Increasing economic inequality in cities, and the spatial
translation of that into more segregated neighbourhoods, is top of
the political agenda in developed countries. While the overall
living standards have increased in the last century, the focus has
now shifted from poverty to economic differences, with a particular
focus on the gap between the very poor and the (ultra-)rich. The
authors observe a common view among policy-makers and researchers
alike: that urban-economic inequality and segregation are
increasing; that this increase is bad; and that money and people
(in the case of segregation) need to be redistributed in response.
In six compact chapters, this book enriches and broadens the
debate. Chapters bring together the literature on the social
effects of economic inequality and segregation and question whether
there are sizable effects and what their direction (positive or
negative) is. The often conflated concepts of economic inequality
(and segregation) and social injustice is disentangled and the
moral implications are reflected on. The book is essential reading
for students and academics of Planning Theory, Planning Ethics,
Urban Geography, Urban Economics, Economic Geography and Urban
Sociology.
