This book focuses on the strict orthodox Jewish (Haredi) community,
which comprises many sects whose communal identity plays a central
role in everyday life and spatial organization. The research
reveals and analyses powerful mechanisms of residential segregation
acting at the apartment-, building- and near-neighbourhood levels.
Identifying the main engines of spontaneous and organised
neighbourhood change and evaluating the difficulties of liberalism
dealing with non-autonomous individuals in the housing market sheds
light on similar processes occurring in other city centres with
diverse population groups. Highlighting the impact of various
organisational levels on the spatial structure of the urban
enclave, the book focuses on the internal dynamics of
ethno-religious enclaves that emerge from three levels of action:
(1) individuals' relationships with their own and other groups; (2)
the community leadership's powers within the group and in respect
of other groups; and (3) government directives and tools (e.g
planning). The study examines how different levels of communal
organisation are reflected in the residential patterns of four
British communities: the Litvish communities of Golders Green and
Gateshead, and the Hassidic communities of Stamford Hill and Canvey
Island.
