Summary
This open access book provides recent trends of urbanization and inequality in Africa and Asia. It addresses the inequality challenges of urbanization and large-scale rural-to-urban migration. It answers questions around socio-economic and spatial inequalities and how serious those are in cities in Africa and Asia under 21st-century urbanization. Chapters demonstrate how the old neighborhood division in cities based on race, ethnicity, religion, apartheid, tribes, caste and migrant are replaced by social class through sorting in the housing market. The analyses go beyond the normal income inequality consideration and take a broader perspective on inequality by considering these issues at the neighborhood level to reveal the new spatial divisions in cities. As such, it is essential reading for academics and students in urban studies, sociology, geography, planning, and policymakers working on urban development around the world.
