Description
Everyday Life in the Segmented City investigates how contemporary urban environments are fragmented into distinct social, economic, and spatial zones, and what this means for the people who inhabit them. The book draws on qualitative and quantitative research to understand how segmentation affects social cohesion, mobility, and community formation in diverse metropolitan contexts.
Contributors examine various dimensions of urban segmentation including residential segregation, economic inequality, and spatial barriers. The volume explores how these divisions influence daily routines, social networks, and access to urban resources and services. Through case studies and comparative analysis, the research reveals the complex interplay between structural forces and individual agency in navigating segmented cities.
This work contributes to urban sociology by providing insights into how contemporary cities function as fragmented spaces and how residents adapt to and experience these conditions in their everyday lives.
