“…En fait, on pourrait dire qu'il n'y a pas une ségrégation économique mais bien des ségrégations économiques. Ces dernières dépendent de processus différents et opèrent à des échelles diverses (Mehretu et al . 2000 ; Pigozzi 2004).…”

Economic segregation, or residential inequalities based on income, is a complex spatial process. It is associated with structures which arise at certain scales and which evolve in time. In this paper, we analyse the evolution of economic segregation in Montréal from 1980 to 2000. This analysis is based on household's income and on their distribution within the residential space from four scales: households, census tracts, municipalities and some radio‐concentric zones. Results confirm that the spatial organisation of economic segregation is scale dependent. More precisely, local inequalities are growing more rapidly but this trend does not prevent the consolidation of metropolitan‐sized clusters. Moreover, results confirm that Montréal's economic segregation follows North American trends like the growth of economic disparities (spatial or not) or the fact that the enrichment of central and ex‐urban neighbourhoods is compensated by the impoverishment of inner‐ring suburbs.

“…In fact, many authors have already highlighted it in their theoretical considerations, attributing these differences mainly to the lack of integration of certain areas and their exclusion from main economic, social and cultural processes (Schmidt 1998), as a result of their different ability to adapt to the changing economic, social and political structures, which often go beyond physical disadvantages (Mehretu et al 2000;halás 2002;Leimgruber 2004;Pelc 2011). Last but not least, although in our study we uncovered another small piece in a huge package of issues in rural research, it is still necessary to conduct our investigation further in order to better understand the complex nature of rural areas worldwide.…”

MáLiková L., kLobučník M., 2017. Differences in the rural structure of Slovakia in the context of socio-spatial polarisation. Quaestiones Geographicae 36(2), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 125-140, 2 tables, 2 figs.AbstrAct: This study is devoted to socio-spatial polarisation with regard to the rural environment in Slovakia. In fact, ongoing polarisation processes do not take place only in the rural-urban continuum, but within every single category as well. This is evident especially in the rural environment, which has begun to change significantly in terms of its structure and to diversify to a greater extent. As a result, some parts of the countryside began to stagnate and decline gradually. These parts of the rural environment can thus be referred to as marginal, peripheral. With respect to the proclaimed diversity of the rural environment, this study focuses on selected rural structures, namely mountain areas, the borderland, and the area at the intersection of those two structures. Generally, these parts of the rural environment are often confronted with the phenomenon of marginality and peripherality, and because of the given local predisposition are even more vulnerable to its manifestations. Taking into account the dynamism and multidimensional character of this phenomenon, we can further assume that its manifestation changes in time and space. With the use of ANOVA, we examine a set of selected indicators of socio-spatial polarisation and verify whether and to what extent this dynamism depends on the character of diversified rural structures.

“…Assefa Mehretu et al . () define the term microperipherality as “describes the unequal development within very small geographic units, like census tracts or city block, in which poor and marginalized households and prosperous households may share neighbourhoods” (98). This concept is used to explain disparate living conditions of persons due, more often than not, to systemic oppression rooted in social inequalities.…”

“…Mehretu et al . () also argue that microperipheralities can occur when gentrifying mechanisms are used to improve the quality of a neighborhood by adding more expensive homes. The residents of VICC are certainly not destitute; they are, however, poor compared to their Brownsville neighbors.…”
