- More about City of Equals
The concept of a "city of equals" is based on the idea that each citizen should have a secure sense of place or belonging, and that access to goods and services should not be based purely on the market, each person should be able to live a meaningful life, there should be diversity and wide social mixing, and each person should be able to get access to what they are entitled to without being treated as less worthy than others.

When we contemplate equality in the city, our thoughts often drift towards the stark and widening gap between the rich and the poor, measured in material terms. However, when we delve deeper into the concept of a city of equals, it becomes evident that the realm of feelings and the ability to live according to one's values holds paramount importance. To arrive at this understanding, Wolff and de Shalit have drawn upon their own reflections, a comprehensive literature review, and a remarkable series of over 180 interviews conducted in 10 cities across 6 countries. Through this multi-faceted approach, they have crafted an account of a city of equals, grounded in the notion that every city-dweller should feel a strong sense of belonging and place.
Four fundamental values form the foundation of this account. Firstly, access to the goods and services within the city should not solely be determined by market forces. Secondly, individuals should have the freedom to pursue lives that hold meaning and significance to them. Thirdly, a city should embrace diversity and foster a rich social tapestry. Lastly, non-deferential inclusion should be the guiding principle, ensuring that every person has equal access to their rights without facing discrimination or being treated as less worthy than others. In essence, in a city of equals, each individual takes pride in their city and feels a genuine sense of pride in being embraced by their community.
