Abstract
Inequality is a pivotal concern for social scientists, manifest within and across communities globally. Geoffrey DeVerteuil provides a provocative discussion about the contours of inequality in the city and offers a heuristic framework aimed at its understanding. I focus on three aspects of DeVerteuil's arguments: the importance of reconsidering radical political economy theory to understand urban change and bridge disparate traditions; how the lopsidedness of the city is conceptualized; and whether and how his arguments can be extended to other contexts.
