While continental or subcontinental differences are limited, significant variations in inequality are evident at the country and city levels. The findings reveal serious inequality across neighbourhoods, with neighbourhood wealth emerging as a critical catalyst.

摘要

This chapter analyses the income, employment, and housing conditions of residents covered in the SHLC Household Survey conducted across various neighbourhoods in 14 Asian and African cities. The analysis provides comparative insights into neighbourhood-level inequalities in the Global South. While continental or subcontinental differences are limited, significant variations in inequality are evident at the country and city levels. The findings reveal serious inequality across neighbourhoods, with neighbourhood wealth emerging as a critical catalyst. This intriguing micro-level data underscores the importance of neighbourhoods in understanding the various dynamics of rapidly growing cities in the Global South.
