Urban Micro Segregation

This Special Issue (SI) focuses on urban micro-segregation, an emerging, but traditionally neglected, topic in Urban Studies. It provides evidence of micro-segregation forms from diverse metropolitan contexts across the globe. In addition to providing evidence, part of the scope of this SI is to investigate the ways urban micro-segregation is shaped by global and local forces, which should aid in paving the way to assessing its impact on socio-spatial reproduction across different urban contexts. Moreover, mapping micro-segregation in different cities is also an essential element of capturing and exploring the significance of the provided evidence. These factors bring this SI closer to the heuristic use of spatial structures to better understand, explain, and communicate social processes in urban areas.
