Fast-growing Southern cities accommodate diverse and intricate neighbourhood clusters that exhibit disparities in opportunities. This chapter delves into the socio-spatial elements of spatial inequality among neighbourhood types in Dhaka and entrenched political and economic factors. A multi-stage sequential quantitative analysis using a wealth-based neighbourhood categorisation plus data from various sources reveals deficiencies and differences in services, facilities, and the built environment across five neighbourhood types. Inadequate resources, weak institutional capacity, market-driven resource distribution, and elitist planning contribute to Dhaka’s status as an unequal city. This chapter advocates for innovative, people-centred neighbourhood planning that recognises the internal differentiation of neighbourhoods both in Dhaka and similar contexts.
