The developing world didn't escape this. It copied the Western model — formal property markets, car-centric infrastructure, private housing provision — and copied the contradictions.

Mumbai: ~40% in informal settlements.
Nairobi: over half the city.

The single most destructive transformation of the modern city: housing got financialized. Turned from a social good into an investment asset class through deliberate policy — deregulated mortgages, capital gains tax breaks, withdrawal
of social housing.

Ruthless Redesign Of Islamabad: A Capital Without Its Workers Much of the city's new real estate remains empty, driven by speculative investment that raises rents and shrinks living space for ordinary citizens rather than

From katchi abadis to heritage sites, Islamabad’s “development” is redrawing the city—pushing out workers, erasing history, and privileging capital over citizens.

[5/5] #Amsterdam illustre un dilemme géographique majeur : comment préserver la mixité sociale dans une ville attractive, soumise aux pressions du marché immobilier et à la montée des inégalités spatiales ? #geography #urbaninequality #gentrification

[4/5] Cette transformation a favorisé une #gentrification rapide. Les géographes Willem Boterman et Wouter van Gent parlent d’une "ville de classe moyenne fabriquée", où l’offre pour les plus riches s’est faite au détriment des classes populaires. #geography #urbaninequality #Amsterdam

[3/5] Mais depuis les années 2000, la ville a vendu massivement des logements sociaux. Même les partis de gauche ont défendu cette libéralisation au nom de la "diversité" et pour attirer une population plus aisée jugée porteuse de croissance économique. #geography #urbaninequality #gentrification

[2/5] #Amsterdam s’est longtemps appuyée sur une forte tradition de logement social : encore 90% de l’habitat était encadré au début des années 1990. Cette politique portait une identité historique d’égalité des chances et de tolérance urbaine. #geography #urbaninequality #gentrification

Lagos slum evictions don’t work: 6 ways city planners can actually help the poor Forced eviction is not a solution to the growth of slums.
