Preferred term

inequality and geography  

Definition

  • Human geographers became directly interested in the study of inequality when the focus of the discipline shifted to examining spatial differences using quantitative methods and exploring how different variables varied across space. Typically, such variations occurred across a country or city, although a few scholars were interested in variations across the globe. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Inequality and Geography]
