Description

This edited volume examines how cities in developing countries have fundamentally depended on their margins for material, ideational and social sustenance. Rather than viewing urban inequality as an unfortunate anomaly, the book argues that margins function as mirrors of the city itself and as essential mechanisms through which centres legitimise and maintain power. Drawing on pluridisciplinary perspectives, the work compares contemporary case studies from Africa, Asia and the Middle East with historical examples, offering fresh insights into the relationship between urban centres and their peripheral zones. The collection challenges conventional understandings of uneven development by demonstrating how margins and centres exist in complex interdependence, making this essential reading for scholars of urban history, development studies and regional analysis.

Key Features

Explores how city margins operate as both mirrors and power-sustaining mechanisms across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Compares contemporary case studies with historical examples to reveal patterns of urban development and inequality.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Modern History series, offering scholarly peer-reviewed research on historical themes.

Addresses uneven development in cities through a pluridisciplinary approach that spans multiple academic fields and perspectives.

Examines the material, ideational and social dimensions of how urban centres depend on their peripheral zones.
