Abstract
Inequality has recently become a hotly debated topic, and spatial inequality in Asia is critical to equitable development in the world. This article reviews the research on spatial inequality in Asia. It finds that research on inequality has explored the complex economic‐geographical processes and multiple trajectories of development in Asia. While studies of inequality have concentrated on the phenomena of divergence and convergence, geographers have made significant contribution by exploring the spatiality/multiscalarity, multimechanism, and multiple dimensions of spatial inequality, especially in the study of spatial inequality in China.
