Rethinking Spatial Inequality

Reviews / Votes

'As the authors indicate, "This book is focused on spatial inequality-the where of inequality". The book's lens, the scale of neighborhoods, provides microscopic detail about their income, physical safety, environmental justice, political influence, and educational opportunities, revealing life, as it leaks out from the edges of its unevenness.' -- Amy Glasmeier, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA 'Rethinking Spatial Inequality by Linda M. Lobao and Gregory Hooks is a fresh, forward-looking examination of the forces and processes that produce unequal access to, and allocation of, material resources and subjective well-being across multiple geographic scales within today's nation states. The authors effectively articulate the links between spatial inequality and discourses of spatial justice and equitable sustainable development.' -- David L. Brown, Cornell University, USA 'What does a spatial lens bring to our understanding of inequality? In this book, Lobao and Hooks make the case for the importance of where in spatial inequality. From poverty, to political unrest, to public services, their interdisciplinary approach shows how a spatial lens makes a difference to a full assessment of inequality. This book should be required reading for those interested in a more inclusive, cohesive and forward-looking approach to spatial inequality.' -- Mia Gray, University of Cambridge, UK
