Abstract

This is the second part of the special double issue of Environment and Urbanization that seeks to advance our understanding of urban inequality and how it can be addressed at different scales. The first issue in October 2022 proposed a framework for assessing pathways to urban equality based on the recognition of two fundamental conditions. The first is the importance of a multidimensional approach to poverty and inequality. The second is the necessity for bringing together multiple ways of knowing, crucial not only for a deeper understanding of inequalities, but also for the transformative potential of such “knowledges” when they are co-produced. In this second issue, these themes are explored further by focusing on the discursive and material practices at different scales that can reinforce inequalities, but that when co-produced with the aim of fulfilling the rights of urban residents, can also construct and reproduce pathways to urban equality. As we noted in the first issue:

这是《环境与城市化》特刊的第二部分，旨在增进我们对城市不平等的理解，以及如何在不同规模上解决这一问题。第一期在2022年10月提出了一个框架，在承认两个基本条件的基础上评估实现城市平等的途径。首先是对贫困和不平等采取多维方法的重要性。第二，有必要将多种认识方式结合在一起，这不仅对更深入地理解不平等至关重要，而且对这些“知识”在共同产生时的变革潜力也至关重要。在第二期中，这些主题将通过关注不同尺度的话语和物质实践来进一步探讨，这些实践可能会加剧不平等，但当它们与实现城市居民权利的目标共同产生时，也可以构建和复制通往城市平等的途径。正如我们在第一期中指出的那样:

期刊介绍： Environment and Urbanization aims to provide an effective means for the exchange of research findings, ideas and information in the fields of human settlements and environment among researchers, activists and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in low- and middle-income nations and between these and researchers, international agency staff, students and teachers in high-income nations. Most of the papers it publishes are written by authors from Africa, Asia and Latin America. Papers may be submitted in French, Spanish or Portuguese, as well as English - and if accepted for publication, the journal arranges for their translation into English. The journal is also unusual in the proportion of its papers that are written by practitioners.
