Household Structure, Migration Trends, and Residential Preferences in Inner-city León, Spain: Unpacking the Demographies of Reurbanization
This study examines the changing demography of the Spanish city of León, and aims to explore the manner in which its urban fabric was reshaped by processes of reurbanization, a dynamic whereby the inner city becomes more attractive to a wide variety of household types and social groups. We draw on sociodemographic analyses of municipal census data, as well as a customized questionnaire survey of local residents. Empirical evidence is provided bot…
Emergent spaces of reurbanisation: Exploring the demographic dimension of inner‐city residential change in a European setting
European inner city areas are increasingly regaining their residential attractiveness after years of decline. Although the demographic dimensions of such residential shifts are gradually being acknowledged by urban scholars, they still remain under‐researched, especially with regard to the role of household‐driven processes in the stabilisation of inner‐city neighbourhoods and the reshaping of residential perceptions, wants and needs. Given this …
Splintering Urban Populations: Emergent Landscapes of Reurbanisation in Four European Cities
During the last three decades, the countries of the developed world have been engulfed by the 'second demographic transition', which involves new family relations, less and later marriage, declining fertility rates, population ageing, postponement of child-bearing and smaller households, among other trends. It is being increasingly argued that such population dynamics are having a powerful transformative effect on the inner city, by diversifying …
Beyond Gentrification: The Demographic Reurbanisation of Bologna
It has recently come into question whether the term 'gentrification' can capture the wide array of contemporary demographic processes in the inner city. There is also a need to extend the gentrification debate beyond the Anglo-American context, while understanding the urban implications of contemporary demographic processes. In response to such challenges we examine the changing population geographies of the city of Bologna, with the aim of estab…
Households matter: The quiet demography of urban transformation
During the last three decades, the household has become the focus of a wide range of sociodemographic processes, including the destabilization of traditional patterns of marriage, cohabitation and divorce; the growing fluidity of ties of kin and friendship; and increasingly complex transitions through the life course. However, these dynamics - which are often summarized under the common heading of the `second demographic transition' - have been m…
The second demographic transition, new household forms and the urban population of France during the 1990s
European household structures and their geography have been transformed in recent decades as a response to the interplay of demographic events and changing lifestyles. The formation of new households generally outstrips the rate of population increase, as more numerous and smaller households result from changing patterns of marriage, child‐bearing, divorce and longevity. This paper tests some of the underlying hypotheses of the ‘second demographi…
The Rise of Living Alone in Inner London: Trends among the Population of Working Age
The 1980s was a significant decade in the demography of Inner London. Population increase replaced decades of decline, and household numbers grew even faster. One-person households accounted for most of the growth in household numbers, and the greatest increase was among younger and middle-aged adults. The authors examine the characteristics and changing geography of one-person households in Inner London, particularly between 1981 and 1991, withi…
Exploring London: A novel induction exercise for the new undergraduate
First impressions count, and the first few weeks at university for the new student are critical. What happens at this time is crucial in terms of the messages that different experiences convey to the student about learning and teaching in the subject. Moreover, negative first impressions of university life are known to influence the decision of some students who withdraw. So, how can staff go about making positive impressions in the first few wee…
Households, Reurbanisation and the Rise of Living Alone in the Principal French Cities, 1975-90
The past two decades have seen profound changes in European patterns of demographic behaviour, family formation and household structure. One aspect of the 'second demographic transition' is the appearance of new and more varied household forms, especially in the large cities. Data are analysed here for France's 10 largest cities for the period 1975-90, with particular reference to their central areas. While some continue to experience population …

The pattern and structure of one-person households in England and Wales and France
This paper examines the increase of one-person households during the 1980s in England and Wales and France set within the broader context of household change in Europe as a whole....One-person households vary geographically by age, with younger one-person households found especially in larger urban areas; older one-person households have a more varied distribution, although rural and traditional retirement areas have particular concentrations. In…
