Cities worldwide are changing rapidly, with more people and money coming in, pushing out the poor and reshaping urban areas. The book "The Unequal City" explores these shifts, focusing on factors like money flow, population growth, big construction projects, and the rise of the wealthy and middle class. It looks at why the poor are being pushed out to suburbs, and how cities are transforming old industrial spaces, going green, and increasing security in public areas. The book uses a mix of economic, cultural, and political analysis to understand this complex process happening globally. It's a must-read for anyone interested in urban studies, economics, sociology, planning, or globalization.
