THE PHENOMENON OF NEW URBAN CLASSES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CITY'S SOCIO-ECONOMIC FEATURES

The article analyzes the phenomenon of new urban classes in the context of the transformation of the socio-economic characteristics of modern cities. It shows that as the economy transitions from an industrial to a post-industrial and digital form, the structure of social stratification undergoes a qualitative change. The article establishes that the social position of new urban classes is determined not only by income levels, but also by access to digital resources, symbolic capital, and urban infrastructure. The article concludes that it is necessary to revise theoretical models of stratification, taking into account the forms of employment, network inclusion, and cultural and spatial differences in urban environments.
