As neoliberal economic policies are increasingly applied to city planning, urban spaces worldwide increasingly reflect the deliberate effort to amass capital and stimulate consumer spending. The most dramatic neoliberal development schemes—private archipelagoes in Dubai, gated communities in Hong Kong, the Mall of America in Minnesota—can even be said to resemble capitalist utopias, free of the chaotic diversity of city life and immune from concern for the welfare of the broader public. As emphasized by each of the 19 pieces in this collection, however, every "dreamworld of neoliberalism" constitutes a spatial manifestation of inequality, serving the interests of an increasingly international bourgeois class at the expense of the global poor. Although voicing generally similar variations on a theme of socioeconomic inequality, these articles cover a diverse group of localities (including Beijing and Orange County, California) from a variety of generally scholarly perspectives.
