Description

Cities serve as economic engines for developing nations, yet they also face rising challenges of violence, poverty, and inequality. Standard social theories, mostly created in the Global North, often fail to address the specific realities of dangerous urban areas in the Global South. This book provides a necessary shift in perspective. Based on an ambitious five-year research program consisting of 15 different projects, this work offers a unique Southern viewpoint on the complex relationships between violence, poverty, and inequality. It moves beyond traditional frameworks to explore how these dynamics function within the unique contexts of cities in the Global South. As part of the Routledge Studies in Cities and Development series, this text is a vital resource for understanding how to move toward safer and more inclusive urban environments. It provides the academic foundation needed to study urban life through a lens that actually fits the lived experiences of people in these regions.
