• Sommario/riassunto: This book delves into the complex issue of territorial inequalities, examining their evolution over time and their impact on different geographical scales, from regions to municipalities. It explores the historical and contemporary aspects of wealth distribution and economic disparities, highlighting the role of public mechanisms in fostering territorial cohesion. The book also discusses the challenges and limitations faced by the European Union in addressing these inequalities, and the socio-political consequences of urban segregation and periurbanization. With contributions from experts in geography, social sciences, and economics, it aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multi-faceted nature of spatial inequalities. The intended audience includes researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in socio-economic geography and regional development.
