This book is about understanding processes and patterns of socio-economic residential segregation in a diverse set of European capital cities. In recent years, society has undergone sweeping changes in the way it is impacted by government stimulation and control, the process of post-industrialisation and the globalisation of capital and labour. While the effects of the radical shift have impacted every sphere of socio-economic life, perhaps the most important are the rapid growth of income and social inequalities on the one hand, and welfare retrenchment, a vital catalyst to socio-economic divisions, and related residualization of social housing on the other hand. Both of these changes have had a major impact on housing segmentation and residential segregation of socio-economic groups in the city. The volume brings together an international team of contributors to assess how these processes have made themselves felt across a range of European cities including both long established and new locations within the European Union.
Growing inequalities in Europe are a major challenge threatening the sustainability of urban communities and the competiveness of European cities. 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. An overlooked area of research, this book offers a systematic and representative account of the spatial dimension of rising inequalities in Europe. This book provides rigorous comparative evidence on socio-economic segregation from 13 European cities. Cities include Amsterdam, Athens, Budapest, London, Milan, Madrid, Oslo, Prague, Riga, Stockholm, Tallinn, Vienna and Vilnius. Comparing 2001 and 2011, this multi-factor approach links segregation to four underlying universal structural factors: social inequalities, global city status, welfare regimes and housing systems.
