This panel gathers together work on the question of how new and existing wealth elites make social and physical places to accommodate themselves in urban settings. The papers in this dynamic ‘express’ panel format (each being allocated a strictly timed 8-minute presentation, followed by 26 minutes of roundtable discussion) will examine how elites spatially and socially integrate, or maintain social and physical distance, from the wider urban fabric and other social groups. The panel will offer a series of empirical contributions regarding the extent to which elite spaces are becoming physically bounded and withdrawn, or indeed findings methods and modes of interaction with the wider city. The presentations will also examine relations within and between new and existing urban elites in these contrasting cities.
