This open access book explores new research directions in social
inequality and urban segregation. With the goal of fostering an
ongoing dialogue between scholars in Europe and China, it brings
together an impressive team of international researchers to shed
light on the entwined processes of inequality and segregation, and
the implications for urban development. Through a rich collection
of empirical studies at the city, regional and national levels, the
book explores the impact of migration on cities, the related
problems of social and spatial segregation, and the ramifications
for policy reform. While the literature on both segregation and
inequality has traditionally been dominated by European and North
American studies, there is growing interest in these issues in the
Chinese context. Economic liberalization, rapid industrial
restructuring, the enormous growth of cities, and internal
migration, have all reshaped the country profoundly. What have we
learned from the European and North American experience of
segregation and inequality, and what insights can be gleaned to
inform the bourgeoning interest in these issues in the Chinese
context? How is China different, both in terms of the nature and
the consequences of segregation inequality, and what are the
implications for future research and policy? Given the continued
rise of China's significance in the world, and its recent
declaration of war on poverty, this book offers a timely
contribution to scholarship, identifying the core insights to be
learned from existing research, and providing important guidance on
future directions for policy makers and researchers.
