Routledge Reversing Urban Inequality in Johannesburg Book

Explore the complex socio-economic landscape of modern South Africa with Reversing Urban Inequality in Johannesburg. As capitalism drives both wealth and poverty, the spatial dynamics of globalizing cities are creating deeper divisions between social classes. This book examines how 21st-century urban environments often result in intensifying spatial inequality. Readers will learn about the growing gap between wealthy, privileged urban cores and the periphery of lower-income residents who live far from essential city resources and amenities. This trend is especially visible in cities striving for global status. This Routledge Contemporary South Africa title provides a deep look into the swelling socio-spatial divisions that define modern urban life and the challenges of creating more equitable cities.
