A comparative study of socio-economic segregation in European capital city-regions
Previous research based on 2001 and 2011 census data indicated rising levels of residential segregation between socio-economic groups in many large city-regions in Europe as well as globally. Rising segregation is an important societal concern, as place of residence plays a crucial role in shaping access to urban opportunities. Residential isolation can be especially harmful for the most vulnerable groups. Income inequality was identified as the …
Permanence and change in urban segregation
Over the past 30 years, Athens has transitioned from a relatively inclusive city into a financialised metropolis, moving from conservative protectionism and clientelism to liberalised and globalised socioeconomic conditions. The sovereign debt crisis severely impacted the city’s economy and the living conditions of most of its residents. Furthermore, in the aftermath of the crisis, touristification made the real estate market increasingly attract…
Vertical segregation in the apartment blocks of Athens and Budapest
Contemporary urban societies are experiencing growing income inequality and rising socio-spatial differentiation. The implication of space in the reproduction of inequality has been extensively discussed in the literature; however, the social consequences of spatial hierarchies at the microscale are largely neglected. Among these hierarchies, the unequal distribution of socio-economic groups by floors in apartment buildings (i.e. vertical segrega…
How Do Disadvantaged Groups Seek Information About Public Services? A Randomized Controlled Trial of Communication Technologies
Governments and NGOs are switching to phone‐ and Internet‐based communication technologies to reduce costs and broaden access to public services. However, these technological shifts can backfire if they exacerbate administrative burden in high‐need communities. We conducted a randomized controlled trial in Greece evaluating which communication mode best allows disadvantaged groups to solicit information about free services. Subjects were 18 times…
Residential segregation and educational performance. The case of Athens
This paper investigates the relationship among length of educational training, social origin and residential segregation in Athens using a large sample of 130,000 young individuals 15 to 27 years old, as recorded in the 2011 census. Hypotheses based on high binary correlations between the length of training and a number of variables indicating social origin and the social status of residential areas were tested with a generalised linear mixed mod…
Segregation trends in Athens
This paper assesses segregation patterns and trends in Athens during the 2000s. Does the city become more or less segregated and how do global forces and contextual factors affect the observed tendencies? The study focuses on the uneven spatial distribution of occupational categories and the way it developed between 2001 and 2011. The dominant trend is desegregation. However, there are specific types of residential space – new middle-class suburb…
