We explore growing divides between urbanized people that permeate the domains of housing, waged work relations, city redevelopment, city economic restructuring, and city morphology. The city is excavated as a globally, nationally and regionally entangled terrain – the urban -- that suffers from growing socio-spatial polarization and demographic splintering. Cities as diverse as Chicago, Mexico City, Miami, Jakarta, Prague, Detroit, and will be critically explored as laboratories to understand emerging and persistent inequalities. Innovative theories of contemporary inequalities will be drawn from the work of such urbanists as David Harvey, Doreen Massey, Ananya Roy, Frantz Fanon, Neil Smith, Ruthie Gilmore, William Julius Wilson, and Henri Lefebvre.
