Abstract
This review reports on a recent conference on spatial inequalities in Africa, held by the World Institute for Development Economics Research (WIDER). This international conference, the second in a series of five, covered the following topics: the extent of spatial patterns of income distribution and polarisation; growth, shocks and regional variations in poverty reduction; cities and labour markets in South Africa; rural-urban differences; spatial patterns of social networks, and finally, migration and regional inequality.
