It is not possible to ignore the fact that cities are not only
moving, vibrant and flourishing spaces, promising hope for better
quality of life, but that they also accumulate and reflect
significant problems. This book explores the relational and dynamic
nature of urban inequalities, including their visible and invisible
forms. By using the rather elusive term of 'uncertainty', the
authors zoom in on specific aspects of urban inequalities that are
difficult to measure, yet are acutely sensed and experienced by
people and, more and more often, perceived as unfair. Here, in the
recognition of inequalities as unjust and in the disagreement with
the status quo, lies a positive aspect of uncertainty, which can
lead to a social awakening and more active citizenship.
