High-income workers are moving to city centres or to attractive coastal areas and gated communities, while poverty is increasingly suburbanising. As a result, the urban geography of inequality changes faster and is more pronounced than changes in segregation levels. Rising levels of inequality and segregation pose huge challenges for the future social sustainability of cities, as cities are no longer places of opportunities for all. 2021-04-20T12:47:46Z 2021-04-20T12:47:46Z 2021 book ONIX_20210420_9783030645694_20 9783030645694 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/48225 eng The Urban Book Series application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 9783030645694.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783030645694 Springer Nature Springer 10.1007/978-3-030-64569-4 10.1007/978-3-030-64569-4 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 7292b17b-f01a-4016-94d3-d7fb5ef9fb79 cdfe9125-5d72-4ea4-b4e7-d672e46a5407 9783030645694 European Research Council (ERC) Springer 523 615159 FP7 Ideas: European Research Council FP7-IDEAS-ERC - Specific Programme: "Ideas" Implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities (2007 to 2013) Estonian Research Competency Council Research Competency Council open access

This open access book investigates the link between income inequality and socio-economic residential segregation in 24 large urban regions in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. It offers a unique global overview of segregation trends based on case studies by local author teams. The book shows important global trends in segregation, and proposes a Global Segregation Thesis. Rising inequalities lead to rising levels of socio-economic segregation almost everywhere in the world. Levels of inequality and segregation are higher in cities in lower income countries, but the growth in inequality and segregation is faster in cities in high-income countries. This is causing convergence of segregation trends. Professionalisation of the workforce is leading to changing residential patterns. High-income workers are moving to city centres or to attractive coastal areas and gated communities, while poverty is increasingly suburbanising. As a result, the urban geography of inequality changes faster and is more pronounced than changes in segregation levels. Rising levels of inequality and segregation pose huge challenges for the future social sustainability of cities, as cities are no longer places of opportunities for all.
