“…Edward Soja considers spatial injustice to be artificial and that it can be changed through policy and planning [22]. Spatial justice is an interdisciplinary, complex, and integrated concept, involving relatively broad contents such as production, distribution [23], power [24], capital [25], environment [26], and culture, etc. It pays much attention to problems like economic exploitation, power deprivation, environmental risks, racial discrimination, and so on.…”

The housing price-to-income ratio is an important index for measuring the health of real estate, as well as detecting residents’ housing affordability and regional spatial justice. This paper considers 1833 residential districts in one main urban area and three secondary urban areas in Nanjing during the period 2009–2017 as research units. It also simulates and estimates the spatial distribution of the housing price-to-income ratio with the kriging interpolation method of geographic information system (GIS) geostatistical analysis and constructs a housing spatial justice model by using housing price, income, and housing price-to-income ratio. The research results prove that in the one main urban area and the three secondary urban areas considered, the housing price-to-income ratio tended on the whole to rise, presenting a core edge model of a progressive decrease from the Main Urban Area to the secondary urban areas spatially, with high-value areas centered around famous school districts and new town centers. The housing spatial justice degree presented a trend opposite to that of the housing price-to-income ratio pattern; it progressively decreased from the secondary urban areas to the Main Urban Area. Furthermore, the spatial justice degree tended to decrease in the new towns, in the periphery of the Main Urban Area, and in the secondary urban areas, and it tended to rise, relatively, in the inner urban areas. The enhancement of the housing price-to-income ratio has caused the urban housing spatial justice degree to become gradually imbalanced, gradually squeezing out the poor and vulnerable groups to urban fringe areas and leading to a phenomenon of middle class stratification. This has thus aroused social problems such as housing differentiation and class solidification, etc., and has caused inequality in social spaces. Tt is therefore urgently necessary to reflect on urban space production with the value and principle of spatial justice, which is also the only way to obtain urban sustainable development, in mind.

“…These differences portray the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area as a region characterized by uneven distribution of resources and opportunities (Israel and Frenkel, 2015), not as a horizontal network of endless choices and minimal restrictions. These findings support the argument of Razin and Charney (2015) that Israel is dominated by the Tel Aviv metropolitan core, and none of the secondary metropolitan nodes are able to compete with Tel Aviv for national or even regional dominance (pp.…”

“…The Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area comprises two administrative districts: the dense inner ring of the Tel Aviv District, which is closer to the metropolitan center and in which cities merge into one another to create a continuous urban fabric, and the outer, more dispersed ring of the Central District, which is closer to the Green Line 4 and the West Bank and in which cities are interconnected through a network of highways and railroads (Figure 2). Since the 1990s, the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area has experienced significant suburbanization via the expansion of many small cities and rural communities (Israel and Frenkel, 2015), resulting in the development of numerous new neighborhoods across the city-region. The map in Figure 3 shows the geographical spread of over 70 newly built neighborhoods constructed from 1990 onwards.…”

The city-region and the challenge of its representation: The hierarchical network of newly built neighborhoods in the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area

This paper addresses the challenge of conceptualizing and analyzing contemporary city-regions, arguing that the definitions of the city-region are influenced by the methods used to explore it and that in most cases, regions are not either/or but rather are complex juxtapositions of (sometimes) conflicting concepts. In exploring this argument, the paper presents the contemporary tension between the concepts of “hierarchical” and “network,” with the latter often being viewed as the organizing logic of contemporary city-regionalism. Using the case of the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area, the paper focuses on the development of new neighborhoods in the city-region, constructed from the 1990s onwards, and the effect of this development on the region as a whole. Although a socio-spatial analysis of this development reveals that the design of new neighborhoods follows a similar prototype that might reinforce the idea of an urban network, the geographical spread of new neighborhoods throughout the region reveals a hierarchical structure that preserves existing economic and political distinctions between the core and periphery. The questions addressed in this paper extend beyond the case of Tel Aviv and can be considered in the context of the “regional question” and the ongoing search for its contemporary representation.

“…Despite the tensions between Bourdieu and Putnam's interpretations of social capital, some studies have applied a hybrid model integrating both (Butler, 2008;Israel and Frenkel, 2015). For example, in his analysis of London's gentrified neighbourhoods, Butler (2008) argued that gentrification had devastated the 'Putnam-style' bonding capital that characterised the working-class communities in these neighbourhoods, but saw the emergence of new forms of 'Bourdieu-style' social and cultural capitals that reproduced the advantage of incoming middle-class households.…”

Understanding the role of elite neighbourhoods in wider processes of rising inequality at national and global scales is an emerging agenda in urban studies. In this paper I focus on the role of the neighbourhood in the production of elite social networks, as a source of social capital. Focusing on three of Australia's most affluent neighbourhoods -Mosman (Sydney), Toorak (Melbourne) and Cottesloe (Perth)the study involved a mixed method approach, including a survey of over 1,000 residents, and follow up in depth interviews with forty-six of them. The paper presents descriptive quantitative characterisation of elite neighbourhood residents' social networks, using occupation as proxy for the social class positions of network members. Further qualitative analysis is presented to explain the role of neighbourhood institutions and everyday practicesincluding neighbourly relations, random encounters, and participation in schools and sports clubsin the formation of elite social networks. The findings demonstrate that elite neighbourhoods should be understood as more than merely fortified playgrounds for conspicuous consumption, rather important sites of capital accumulation.
