Description

Explore the complex relationship between urban centers and their outskirts in this academic volume from Routledge. While many view inequality and uneven development in developing countries as mere anomalies, this book argues that cities cannot exist without their margins. These peripheral areas serve as both mirrors of the urban core and essential routes through which centers maintain and legitimate their power. Through pluridisciplinary perspectives, the text examines how social, material, and ideational margins shape the urban experience. By comparing contemporary case studies across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East with historical examples, the book provides a deep look into the mechanics of urban growth and power structures. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in modern history, urban development, and the economic history of global cities.

Key Features

Provides pluridisciplinary perspectives on urban development through diverse case studies in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

Examines the role of urban margins as mirrors that reflect the social and material realities of the city center.

Analyzes how peripheral areas function as routes for centers to legitimate and sustain their power.

Connects modern urban challenges to historical contexts through comparative study methods.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Modern History series for academic depth and reliability.
