Abstract

Throughout history, cities have been hubs for the development of new philosophical, cultural, political, economic, and technological ideas, thereby enhancing the quality of life for their inhabitants. However, the concentration of populations and activities in cities coupled with other socio-economic and political factors have engendered significant challenges, affecting vulnerable social groups in particular, and giving rise to urban marginalities. This study explores the historical trajectory of urban marginalities in Western cities. It examines their diverse manifestations from antiquity to the present day. This is carried out using a historical approach and focusing on three pivotal aspects that mark the evolutionary expansion of the Western city. It looks into how the physical drivers for the development of the city can give rise to its physical and social impact, which urban marginalities are part of. The research aims to elucidate the multifaceted mechanisms underlying the emergence of urban marginalities, and the many forms under which they manifested themselves since ancient times. Such research highlights the importance of understanding the historical context of cities when addressing their contemporary urban challenges.
