Research on urban uneven development focuses primarily on the production of urban space as a commodity for capitalist accumulation. The free movement of capital in search of higher investment returns produces recurrent patterns of spatial unevenness; as one place is subject to disinvestment and declines, another place benefits from (re)investment and thrives. Research has shown the importance of social and cultural factors that mediate or accelerate urban uneven development as a process contingent on the interplay between structure and agency. Recent work on neoliberal urbanism has shown the increased dependence on market forces in urban governance, the expanded role of the private sector, and greater competition between localities to attract investment capital has enhanced urban uneven development.
