Widening socio-economic disparities between urban and suburban communities have increasingly concerned urban scholars and policymakers. This is because growing disparities may be associated with the socio-economic exclusion of disadvantaged households from jobs, housing and public services. However, existing empirical studies have not sufficiently addressed the importance of regional growth patterns that are associated with socio-economic disparity and polarization within metropolitan areas. After identifying the intra-metropolitan subareas of six metropolitan areas and utilizing longitudinal census data from 1970 to 2000, this research investigated intra-metropolitan socio-economic disparity and polarization in terms of income, class and race within six metropolitan areas exhibiting different regional growth trends and patterns. The primary focus of this research is the relationship between socio-economic disparity and regional growth trends as well as patterns that pertain to both urban sprawl and compact development. The key findings of this study indicate that while metropolitan areas with compact development patterns show a relatively lower level of intra-metropolitan socio-economic disparity and polarization, those with urban sprawl exhibit a higher level over time, despite endogenous differences in each metropolitan area. Finally, this study discusses the issue of causality among spatial patterns and socio-economic disparities as well as policy implications for promoting metropolitan growth patterns aimed at socio-economic integration and balanced metropolitan growth. Résumé Recherche urbaine et décideurs politiques ont porté une attention accrue au creusement des disparités socio-économiques entre les communautés urbaines et suburbaines, ces disparités croissantes pouvant être associées à l'exclusion socio-économique des ménages défavorisés vis-à-vis de l'emploi, du logement et des services publics. Pourtant, les études empiriques existantes n'ont pas assez tenu compte des schémas de croissance régionale liés à la disparité et à la polarisation socio-économiques dans les zones métropolitaines. Cette étude identifie d'abord les secteurs intra-métropolitains de six zones métropolitaines et exploite les données longitudinales de recensements de 1970 à 2000, afin d'examiner la disparité et la polarisation socio-économiques intra-métropolitaines en termes de revenu, de classe et de race dans six zones métropolitaines présentant des tendances et des schémas de croissance régionale différents. Ce travail s'intéresse d'abord à la relation entre disparité socio-économique et tendances de la croissance régionale, ainsi qu'aux schémas qui relèvent à la fois de l'étalement urbain et de l'aménagement compact. D'après les principaux résultats, si les zones aux schémas d'aménagement compact montrent un niveau relativement inférieur de disparité et polarisation socio-économiques intra-métropolitaines, les cas d'étalement urbain présentent un niveau supérieur avec le temps, et ce, malgré des différences endogènes dans chaque zone métropolitaine. Pour finir, une analyse traite de la causalité entre les schémas spatiaux et les disparités socio-économiques, ainsi que des conséquences sur le plan des politiques publiques pour encourager des schémas de croissance métropolitaine soucieux d'intégration socio-économique et d'expansion équilibrée
