This chapter continues the discussion about urban inequality and provides further context for the case study chapters. It looks at neighbourhood development and socio-spatial inequalities and the trend and style of urbanisation in the case study countries. It then discusses neighbourhood typology and its implication for socio-spatial inequalities. Fast urban expansion and sprawl in Asia and Africa is resulting in new patterns of inequality and informality. Neighbourhood differentiation is an important indicator of urban inequality, especially spatial inequality. There are huge differences between rich and poor neighbourhoods in relation to income levels of residents, family wealth, housing condition, as well as general living environment and access to public services. In all cities, the most striking spatial differences exist between slum settlements and new middle-class areas.

摘要

This chapter continues the discussion about urban inequality and provides further context for the case study chapters. It looks at neighbourhood development and socio-spatial inequalities and the trend and style of urbanisation in the case study countries. It then discusses neighbourhood typology and its implication for socio-spatial inequalities. Fast urban expansion and sprawl in Asia and Africa is resulting in new patterns of inequality and informality. Neighbourhood differentiation is an important indicator of urban inequality, especially spatial inequality. There are huge differences between rich and poor neighbourhoods in relation to income levels of residents, family wealth, housing condition, as well as general living environment and access to public services. In all cities, the most striking spatial differences exist between slum settlements and new middle-class areas.
