Presentations from The Dynamics of Spatial Inequality: Processes, Outcomes & Solutions
On Friday 29th March we held a symposium to discuss the Dynamics of Spatial Inequality: Processes, Outcomes & Solutions.
This event brought together policy makers, stakeholders and leading researchers from a variety of academic disciplines and policy perspectives to discuss the latest research on whether and how spatial inequalities matter and the implications for policy innovation. The aim of the symposium was to examine how inequality in housing wealth reinforces intergenerational inequality, and how discrimination in the housing market makes it more difficult for ethnic minorities to access neighbourhoods with the best economic opportunities.
We also heard research which takes a broader view and examines how multiple processes – economic, social and political – intersect to affect the level and nature of spatial inequalities within UK and non-UK contexts. The event concluded with an open discussion aimed at identifying potential interactions between economic, social and political processes that might enable the development of new research and policy agendas aimed at addressing spatial inequality.
The programme and biographies of speakers can be found here.
This event took place with the support from the ESRC International Networking grant.
