Urban Socio-Economic Segregation and Income Inequality
Author: Maarten van Ham
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303064569X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
This open access book investigates the link between income inequality and socio-economic residential segregation in 24 large urban regions in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. It offers a unique global overview of segregation trends based on case studies by local author teams. The book shows important global trends in segregation, and proposes a Global Segregation Thesis. Rising inequalities lead to rising levels of socio-economic segregation almost everywhere in the world. Levels of inequality and segregation are higher in cities in lower income countries, but the growth in inequality and segregation is faster in cities in high-income countries. This is causing convergence of segregation trends. Professionalisation of the workforce is leading to changing residential patterns. High-income workers are moving to city centres or to attractive coastal areas and gated communities, while poverty is increasingly suburbanising. As a result, the urban geography of inequality changes faster and is more pronounced than changes in segregation levels. Rising levels of inequality and segregation pose huge challenges for the future social sustainability of cities, as cities are no longer places of opportunities for all.

Segregation by Design
Author: Jessica Trounstine
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108637086
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Segregation by Design draws on more than 100 years of quantitative and qualitative data from thousands of American cities to explore how local governments generate race and class segregation. Starting in the early twentieth century, cities have used their power of land use control to determine the location and availability of housing, amenities (such as parks), and negative land uses (such as garbage dumps). The result has been segregation - first within cities and more recently between them. Documenting changing patterns of segregation and their political mechanisms, Trounstine argues that city governments have pursued these policies to enhance the wealth and resources of white property owners at the expense of people of color and the poor. Contrary to leading theories of urban politics, local democracy has not functioned to represent all residents. The result is unequal access to fundamental local services - from schools, to safe neighborhoods, to clean water.

Urban Segregation and Governance in the Americas
Author: Bryan R. Roberts
Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Residential segregation is a key issue for good governance in Latin American cities. The isolation of people of different social classes or ethnicities has potential political and social consequences, including differential access to and quality of education, health and other services. This volume uses the recent availability of geo-coded census data and techniques of spatial analysis to conduct the first detailed comparative examination of residential segregation in six major Latin American metropolises, with Austin, Texas, as a US comparison. It demonstrates the high degree of residential segregation of contemporary Latin American cities and discusses implications for the welfare of urban residents.

The Political Order
Author: Henry S. Kariel
Publisher: Basic Books (AZ)
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
It is not enough, Professor Kariel points out, for the student of political science to absorb existing knowledge; he needs to be deeply aware of the alternatives involved in political decision-making. This valuable set of readings offers one a unique opportunity to analyze and gain insight into the wide variety of approaches by which political thinkers seek to cope with events. The authors here show the wide range of choices in which established and often conflicting ideologies, institutions, and modes of study respond to contemporary challenges. The all too prevalent notion that there are no real political choices is dispelled. The reader learns through these readings how to understand and respond to political realities and events-not just to accept ready-made conclusions. The contributors include: E. H. Carr, Kenneth E. Boulding, Robert C. Wood, David B. Truman, Daniel Bell, Richard E. Neustadt, Robert A. Dahl, Hans J. Morgenthau, C. Wright Mills, V.O. Key, Jr. Henry S. Kariel is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Hawaii. His previously published works include The Decline of American Pluralism, Promise of Politics, and In Search of Authority.
