This book challenges contemporary understanding of wealth, power, and urban segregation. The volume brings together an international group of urban scholars, sociologists, and political scientists to provide a comprehensive global examination of various elite environments. It will delve into:
- How elite spaces are constructed and maintained
- Their critical connection to wider global political and economic systems
- The potential risks and consequences these highly insulated environments pose to broader urban, social, and democratic life.
The book promises to be an essential resource for researchers, students, and policymakers interested in the geography of inequality and the politics of exclusion.
