Secondary source excerpt: Analysts argue that globalization can intensify inequality within global cities. High-wage employment in finance and technology increases demand for luxury housing and urban amenities, while growth in low-wage service work (security, cleaning, food service) supports elite consumption. Rising rents and redevelopment may displace long-term residents, producing a city with stark contrasts between affluent districts and precarious neighborhoods. Which outcome best aligns with the excerpt's argument?
