The geography of "centrality and marginality" in global cities refers to the fact that the city's space is increasingly devoted to the needs of the wealthy, while the poor are pushed to the margins and often forced to live in unlivable conditions. This creates a spatial divide between the affluent and the impoverished in the city, leading to unequal access to resources and opportunities.
