Equality and Inclusion
Challenge Lead: Prof Ted Schrecker
Rising inequalities are a key challenge facing cities across the world.
Our cities research capabilities give us a unique ability to respond to the challenge of:
- mapping new urban/metropolitan inequalities
- understanding their politics
- devising innovative responses to policy and governance challenges on many scales
We build on existing studies of:
- inequality and sociolinguistic variation within cities
- understanding spatial inequalities in ‘smart cities’
- racial aspects of de-industrialising and post-industrial urban places
- gender, skills, migration, and the labour process
- the global political economy of health inequalities
- mapping environmental inequalities
- improving food security
- reducing sensory inequalities in the city
