Description
While the levels of socio-economic segregation in European cities are still modest compared to some parts of the world, the poor are increasingly concentrating spatially within capital cities across Europe. This book offers a systematic and representative account of the spatial dimension of rising inequalities.
"It will be extremely useful for scholars concerned about general patterns of social inequality as well as specialists studying sociospatial division, gentrification, or segregation (ethnic as well as socioeconomic). The book could also be used to help teach courses on urban sociology and geography, housing studies, or social policy."
Rory Coulter, University of Cambridge, Journal of Urban Affairs
'This well-organized book provides the reader with a feel for the uniqueness of each city and its segregation problem. I especially appreciated the fact that the contributors combined statistical measures of segregation and mapped location coefficients with information on the city’s history, as well as its welfare and housing policies.'
David Varady, University of Cincinnati, Geography Research Forum (GRF)
"...the book will be useful for researchers (academic and policy) who are interested in spatial segregation in any of the cities featured in the book. The book presents the problems of small area comparisons internationally and provides a worthy attempt of differences in spatial segregation in Europe."
Stephen Jivraj, University College London, London, UK, International Journal of Housing Policy
