Abstract
Social inequality is inherent within capitalist societies. In this chapter we will examine how capitalist inequalities based on social class relate to other inequalities — notably those of gender and ethnicity — and how these inequalities affect urban form, and how they are themselves shaped by urban processes. Traditional approaches to urban inequality were primarily interested in segregation, the spatial expression of inequality. This chapter begins, in section 4.1, by briefly considering this research, documenting entrenched patterns of segregation as exemplified by studies of Britain and North America.KeywordsMiddle ClassCity CentreHousing MarketUrban SpaceResidential SegregationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
