Abstract
Concerns about inequality have increased exponentially. First evidence came from wage inequality in Anglo-Saxon countries in the 80’s decade. Cities are the stage of inequality, where it develops in social unrest and political struggle. Large cities have been the main focus of research about urban inequality.
