Abstract

This paper deals with disparities between city and suburbs in the US and the Netherlands. As a result of suburbanisation, US metropolitan areas are characterised by disparities between poor central cities on the one hand and rich urban fringes on the other. These disparities are particularly apparent in old metropolitan areas, while young metropolitan areas show smaller differences between city and suburbs. In the Dutch case, despite redistributive national policies, disparities between city and fringe still exist. Repeating the US experience, city-suburban disparities seem to be deeper in old than in young metropolitan areas, as will be demonstrated by the contrasting cases of the old Amsterdam metropolitan area and the young Eindhoven metropolitan area.
