How the Other Half Lives

Interconnecting Socio-Spatial Inequalities
How the other half lives interrogates contemporary social and spatial inequalities in housing, urban design, place-making, austerity, notions of deservedness and transnational mobility.

We are, all of us, intimately familiar with inequalities. Whether finding somewhere to live, walking in the street, following the news, negotiating international travel, or in our working and personal lives, subtle and crude hierarchies shape our lived experience. How the other half lives contributes detailed, multidisciplinary, and qualitative explorations of the everyday social and spatial realities of inequality, drawing new lines from Manchester to Milan, from Brighton to Bologna. Uniquely structured as a series of oppositions between peaks and troughs, with each chapter focusing on a specific subject, including: housing, urban design, place-making, the state, cultures of inequality, and transnational mobility. This book is a resource to navigate an unequal world, oriented around three key understandings of inequality as contingent, intersectional, and interrelated.
This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10, Reduced inequalities
