Abstract
In their contributions to this volume, the authors have responded to and extended our view that the spaces of urban poverty matter. Rather than simply interpreting urban poverty as poverty happening in cities and towns, they have explored the multiple ways in which spaces matter to the constitution of urban poverty. The ways in which this approach to understanding urban poverty as of the city (i.e., urban poverty is in the city, and the city is in urban poverty) are utilised vary significantly according to each chapters’ theoretical, empirical and sectoral context, as detailed below.
