How the Other Half Lives explores the everyday social and spatial realities of inequality, drawing new lines from Manchester to Milan, from Brighton to Bologna. It is structured as a series of oppositions between peaks and troughs, with each chapter focusing on a specific subject, such as housing, urban design, place-making, the state, cultures of inequality, and transnational mobility. It is a resource to navigate an unequal world, oriented around three key understandings of inequality as contingent, intersectional, and interrelated.

We all have a deep understanding of inequalities, whether it's finding a place to live, navigating the streets, keeping up with the news, arranging international travel, or navigating our work and personal lives. Subtle and crude hierarchies shape our daily lives in countless ways.

How the Other Half Lives delves into detailed, multidisciplinary, and qualitative explorations of the everyday social and spatial realities of inequality, drawing new connections from Manchester to Milan, from Brighton to Bologna. Uniquely structured as a series of contrasts between peaks and troughs, with each chapter focusing on a specific subject, including: housing, urban design, place-making, the state, cultures of inequality, and transnational mobility. This book serves as a valuable resource for navigating an unequal world, rooted in three key understandings of inequality as contingent, intersectional, and interconnected.

This book is particularly relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10, which aims to reduce inequalities. By shedding light on the experiences of those who are marginalized and oppressed, it provides valuable insights into the root causes of inequality and offers practical solutions for creating a more just and equitable society. Whether you're a policymaker, activist, or simply interested in understanding the world around you, How the Other Half Lives is a must-read for anyone seeking to promote social change and build a more inclusive world.
