Policy-makers tend to view the residential segregation of minority
ethnic groups in a negative light as it is seen as an obstacle to
their integration. In the literature on neighbourhood effects, the
residential concentration of minorities is seen as a major
impediment to their social mobility and acculturation, while the
literature on residential segregation emphasises the opposite
causal direction, by focusing on the effect of integration on
levels of (de-)segregation. This volume, however, indicates that
the link between integration and segregation is much less
straightforward than is often depicted in academic literature and
policy discourses. Based on research in a wide variety of western
countries, it can be concluded that the process of assimilation
into the housing market is highly complex and differs between and
within ethnic groups. The integration pathway not only depends on
the characteristics of migrants themselves, but also on the
reactions of the institutions and the population of the receiving
society. Linking Integration and Residential Segregation exposes
the link between integration and segregation as a two-way
relationship involving the minority ethnic groups and the host
society, highlighting the importance of historical and geographical
context for social and spatial outcomes. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration
Studies.

The global financial and economic crisis that hit the world since
2008 has affected the lives of many people all over the world and
resulted in declining incomes, rising unemployment, foreclosures,
forced residential moves, and cut-backs in government expenditure.
The extent to which the crisis has affected urban neighborhoods and
has led to rising intra-urban inequalities, has not yet received
much attention. The implemented budget cuts and austerity programs
of national and local governments are likely to have hit some
neighborhoods more than others. The authors of this this book,
which come from a variety of countries and disciplines, show that
the economic crisis has affected poor neighborhoods more severely
than more affluent ones. The tendency of the state to retreat from
these neighborhoods has negative consequences for their residents
and may even nullify the investments that have been made in many
poor neighborhoods in the recent past. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Urban Geography.
