The Everyday Life of Urban Inequality explores how steadily increasing inequality and the spectacular pace of urbanization frame daily life for city residents around the world. Ethnographic case studies from five continents highlight the impact of place, the tools of memory, and the power of collective action as communities interact with centralized processes of policy and capital. By focusing on situated experiences of displacement, belonging, and difference, the contributors to this collection illustrate the many ways urban inequalities take shape, combine, and are perpetuated.

Urban Resettlements in the Global South - Lived Experiences of Housing and Infrastructure between Displacement and Relocation... Urban Resettlements in the Global South - Lived Experiences of Housing and Infrastructure between Displacement and Relocation (Hardcover)

Through the unique conceptualisation of 'urban resettlement', the book is a first attempt to conceptualise 'resettlement' in urban studies not only as an important dimension of ordinary city lives but also as a tool of government (for populations and places). The book will offer an interesting range of contributions combining destruction and production of urban space in the context of urban development. The unique selection of cases studies brings together empirical evidence on resettlement from three different continents (Africa, Asia, Latin America)

The Everyday Life of Urban Inequality explores steadily increasing inequality and the spectacular pace of urbanization frame everyday life for city residents around the world. With case studies from five continents, this volume explores what it means to live within cities marked by entrenched inequalities, situating daily life at the intersection between global processes and local histories. Drawing from ethnographic research, scholars in varied social science disciplines examine the reproduction of poverty and stratification, the creation of political and social marginality, and the destruction-and resilience-of communities. Authors highlight how inequalities are experienced concretely and within daily life. The treatment of caddies at an elite golf course in Mexico City, the early morning routines of a woman running a food stall in Kuala Lumpur, the debates over voting in Cape Town's periphery, the frustration of resettled residents with state policies in Casablanca, or the struggles of migrants to locate secure housing in Santiago all offer insights into the many ways in which inequalities are produced. In each chapter, everyday life is presented in vivid detail, noting the power of tradition, the tools of memory, and the impact of belonging as individuals and communities interact with centralized processes of policy and capital. By focusing on situated experiences of displacement, belonging, and difference, this volume demonstrates the power of multi-disciplinary ethnographic research to illustrate the many ways urban inequalities take shape, combine, and are perpetuated.

Wohnimmobilien im Fokus von Investoren und Stadtplanern - Auswirkungen der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise auf den Dusseldorfer... Wohnimmobilien im Fokus von Investoren und Stadtplanern - Auswirkungen der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise auf den Dusseldorfer Wohnimmobilienmarkt (German, Paperback)

Die Auswirkungen der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise sowie der europ ischen Staatsschuldenkrise haben in den letzten drei Jahren zu einer Anlegerflucht in Sachwerte gef hrt. Die neue Wertsch tzung des 'Betongolds' als Inflationsschutz, die historisch niedrigen Langfrist-Zinsen und die zuletzt wieder gute konjunkturelle Entwicklung haben dazu gef hrt, dass zahlreiche Privat-Anleger sich nach Immobilien-Eigentum umsehen. Zus tzlich entdecken auch institutionelle Investoren aus Mangel an Anlage-Alternativen den Wohnimmobilienmarkt neu. Insbesondere in den prosperierenden Gro st dten Deutschlands haben diese Tatsachen zu einem hohen Nachfragedruck gef hrt. Doch das Angebot ist begrenzt. Preise und Mieten stiegen auch in D sseldorf mitunter in den zweistelligen Prozentwert an. Das hat Folgen f r die Stadtentwicklung: Die g nstigen Renditeerwartungen im innenst dtischen und innenstadtnahen Hochpreissegment haben zu einer berproportionalen Verst rkung dieses Segments im Vergleich zum niedrigen und mittleren Segment gef hrt. Das Angebot profitiert dabei von der Reurbanisierung ressourcenstarker Bev lkerungsgruppen. Die angespannte Situation im unteren Mietwohnungssegment hat sich zugespitzt. Dort h lt das Angebot am wenigsten mit dem Nachfragewachstum mit. Gerade in den gr nderzeitlichen Trend-Vierteln haben diese Effekte die bereits vorhandenen Verdr ngungsprozesse der Gentrification (spezifische sozio konomische Umstrukturierungsprozesse in st dtischen Wohngebieten) verst rkt. Es ist zu vermuten, dass auch die sozior umliche Polarisierung zunehmen wird. Weniger wohlhabende B rger und besonders Familien sind h ufig gezwungen D sseldorf zu verlassen und im Umland g nstigeren Wohnraum nachzufragen. Diese neue Suburbanisierung erh ht den Druck auf die Umlandkommunen neue Fl chen bereitzustellen, um vom D sseldorfer Wachstum profitieren zu k nnen. Zwischen den Umlandst dten existiert ein Konkurrenzkampf um die Neub rger der Region D sseldorf.
