Hi,I am Kei, taking the same class of "Cities and Social Difference".
I enjoyed to read your blog, and as I am reading through, I found a certain interesting point that can be worth to discuss. Let me share the point with other readers.

As you have mentioned, Beverly Hills shows the clear difference that seem to put this area in some kind of special position. I strongly agree that the part of the reasons that result in differentiating Beverly Hills from other area is a fourth urban revolution. 

It can be said that the one of the explicit aspects of forth urban revolution is that it emphasizes the idea of "core" and "periphery" more strongly. Although these terms are usually used in the global meaning, it can also considered that the terms can be applied to describe the inside of the LA; the Beverly Hills is being classified as "core" while industrial areas are considered as "periphery".

Furthermore, David Harvey's idea that the industrial activity is concentrated in the poverty area as if it is purposed, can also be applied to explain the affluence and environment of Beverly Hills. In other word, it can be regarded that this place is geographically "segregated" from the polluted area.

Your blog is interesting. I am looking forward to see the next blog too!
Thanks.
