Book Urban Socio Economic Segregation and Income Inequality

Download or read book Urban Socio Economic Segregation and Income Inequality written by Maarten van Ham and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

  • Author : Bertus De Villiers
  • Publisher : HSRC Press
  • Release : 1993
  • ISBN : 9780796915481
  • Pages : 230 pages

Download or read book Regionalism written by Bertus De Villiers and published by HSRC Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1992 the South African debate on regional government has shifted its focus to the content of regional government and the way that it could contribute to democratisation, improved government, the prevention of conflict and the accommodation of ethnic and other diversities. The Centre for Constitutional Analysis at the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) has been actively involved in the stimulation and development of the debate on regional government in South Africa. Some of the initiatives taken by the Centre have included comparative research, the running of workshops, the involvement of international scholars and various publications. This latest book attempts to make a practical contribution to the debate and is therefore intended to provide practitioners with a framework that could be used for the solving of problems that are faced in and outside of the negotiation process.

Download or read book Counter currents written by Edgar A. Pieterse and published by Jacana Media. This book was released on 2010 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The City of Cape Town is heading for disaster and is already in deep crisis if one cares to look close enough. The recent proliferation of public construction, public squares and public housing along the N2 towards the airport is little more than a mirage compared with the direction of more underlying trends. Cape Town's grim future is born out of the confluence of the globalised economic and ecological collapse that is fast becoming the defining feature of the twenty-first century. It is manifested most starkly in the dire situation that faces the majority of the city's residents, who are excluded from the formal economy and must rely on substandard public services and their own makeshift shelters. The scenario is serious enough to draw everyone's attention but should be set against the broader issues of long-term economic resilience and environmental sustainability to achieve a low-carbon society - so we have our work cut out for us. The purpose of this volume is to demystify these challenges and present readers with a creative portfolio of thinking, practice and strong vision to show that we can find alternatives - and, moreover, that these alternatives are already emerging in (marginal) sections of the state, civil society and the business sectors."--Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although cities constitute the key contributors to unsustainable development, especially due to their ecological and equity impacts, they are also viewed as the vehicle for the transition to a sustainable future for humanity both in terms of technologies as well as policies and lifestyle changes. This book introduces the theoretical principles which underpin the required transition to sustainable cities in general and Cape Town in particular. The subsequent fourteen chapters tackle more specific areas of interventions and the key constraints towards realisation of related transition interventions in the city of Cape Town.

This volume reflects a variety of aspects of urban development and restructuring efforts in Cape Town in the last years. A focus lies on the question if the "apartheid city" is reproducing itself.
