Introduction, motivation, and methods
- Abstract:
- This chapter begins by raising the book’s main question: what makes some cities attractive to people who think of themselves as progressive, liberal, and egalitarians, and what makes some cities less attractive to such people? In other words, what makes a city (more of) a city of equals? It then explains why this is an interesting question and how equality in the city differs from equality in the state. Finally, the authors explain the method—combining philosophical reasoning with interviews with city dwellers—which the authors adopted in pursuit of their theory of what makes a city a city of equals.
