Urbanisation in the twenty-first century has resulted in more spatially fragmented and socially divided cities in developing countries. Based on a UK government supported international collaborative project (Sustainable Healthy Learning Cities and Neighbourhoods—SHLC), this book brings a fresh understanding of recent trends in urbanisation and urban spatial inequality in Africa and Asia, using the neighbourhood as the unit of analysis. The authors reveal new patterns of urban and neighbourhood inequalities and driving forces for division under different economic, historical, cultural conditions and political systems. In this introduction chapter, the editors review recent theories and debates about urban and spatial inequalities. They summarise recent trends in urbanisation and their implications for inequalities and international policy responses, before providing some background information about the research project and an outline of the book’s chapters and main findings.

摘要

Urbanisation in the twenty-first century has resulted in more spatially fragmented and socially divided cities in developing countries. Based on a UK government supported international collaborative project (Sustainable Healthy Learning Cities and Neighbourhoods—SHLC), this book brings a fresh understanding of recent trends in urbanisation and urban spatial inequality in Africa and Asia, using the neighbourhood as the unit of analysis. The authors reveal new patterns of urban and neighbourhood inequalities and driving forces for division under different economic, historical, cultural conditions and political systems. In this introduction chapter, the editors review recent theories and debates about urban and spatial inequalities. They summarise recent trends in urbanisation and their implications for inequalities and international policy responses, before providing some background information about the research project and an outline of the book’s chapters and main findings.
