EQUALITY INEQUALITY
“There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people.” - Thomas Jefferson 22pt/27pt
Font Size in Use
In her book 'Social Work and the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;, Charlotte Williams critically explores ways of thinking about the city of the 21st century and what challenges our society is facing nowadays: increased segregation of the poor, the crisis of affordable housing, homelessness, gentrification, ageing, displacement as a result of migrations, and the breakdown of social support and care. 14pt/19,8pt Recent decades have witnessed rapid growth in cities but also apparent is the rapid decline of cities worldwide, as global economic shifts produce the waning of centres once economically buoyant. These shifts, of both growth and decline, have human consequences. They produce growing inequality and poverty, visible immiseration, segregation and division, rampant crime and compromised security, urban sprawl and slum development (UN-Habitat 2012). Cities also destroy natural environments, depleting water supplies and generating pollution (UN-Habitat 2012). These factors are now indisputably linked to the generation of
risk natural risk and human induced risk producing hazards, endangerment and disasters (Beck 1992). As trends they impact diff erentially across the world, producing global inequity and inequalities that prompts the mass movement of peoples fl eeing poverty. The social costs of these global shifts fall disproportionately on the most vulnerable sections of society. The human impacts are apparent on city streets, in city quarters and slums, in the dislocation of peoples within cityscapes, in the diversity of peoples coming and going through forced or elective migrations, and in the emergence of new and more complex forms of need.
