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.

How the Other Half Lives delves into detailed, multidisciplinary, and qualitative explorations of the everyday social and spatial realities of inequality, drawing new lines from Manchester to Milan, from Brighton to Bologna. Uniquely structured as a series of oppositions 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 interrelated.

This book is highly 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.
