“…Indeed, external forces have long been argued as critical forces of spatial polarization and urban inequality in developing countries (Kasarda & Crenshaw, 1991). Neoliberalism raises concerns about growing inequality; Shi and Dorling (2020), for example, uncover diverse patterns of inequality resulting from neoliberalism in Beijing and London, and call for considering local conditions (for example, speed of change) in global urban studies.…”

“…The level of population migration tends to have a different impact on household structure depending on whether the migration is an inflow or outflow. Due to the restrictions of China's household registration system, the floating population is usually of a working age (Shi and Dorling, 2020). In a typical emigration area, with an increase in people migrating out, the number of elderly one-person households, single-parent households, and skip-generation households increases, while the number of standard nuclear households decreases (Tang, 2020).…”

Household structure is an important aspect of family change during China's modernization process. Existing literature has demonstrated significant associations between various factors and household structure, but the spatial variation in these relationships has not been examined. Using the 2010 Chinese population census data and geographically weighted regression (GWR) model, this study explored the spatial patterns of three-generation lineal households, a functionally important household type in China, and its influencing factors. There was significant heterogeneity in the distribution of three-generation lineal households. Socioeconomic, demographic, and cultural factors were all significantly related to the proportion of three-generation lineal households, but the relationships are place-specific in terms of direction and magnitude. These results suggest that the distribution of Chinese household structures cannot be explained by a single framework of family modernization theory but is determined by the interplay of various local characteristics. Especially, population migration plays an equally important role in affecting household structure than socioeconomic development in China. This work contributes to the family literature by highlighting the spatial heterogeneity in the impact of varying factors on household structure. Beyond the classic modernization theory, it sets a contextualized framework for understanding how Chinese household change in response to the rapid social transformation.

“…The economic crisis of 2008 intensified this process, redrawing the global map of inequalities [4] with serious consequences: in particular, on the housing market both as a financial asset [5] and as a primary good, with some countries particularly affected, such as Spain [6]. The consequences of the crisis have been exacerbated by deregulation and privatization policies that have led to cuts in social housing policies [7,8]. The social groups that have suffered most from housing insecurity are those who are already in a precarious situation to begin with: lowincome households [8][9][10][11]; ethnic minorities and migrants from third countries [12,13]; and those effected by internal displacements that have arisen from urbanization processes, as occurred in China [14,15].…”

These groups are subject to what Clark [16] described in 1986 as 'residential segregation', determined by significant levels of separation between black and white groups in major US cities, caused not only by economic factors, but also by the housing choices of individual groups.…”

The growth of social inequality in recent decades has a strong urban dimension. In fact, cities are places where such inequalities grow quickly, and have a strong influence on the living conditions and perspectives of different social groups. In this sense, urban segregation becomes an important warning in assessing the existence of disparities that affect the most disadvantaged social groups. Therefore, the aim of this research was to outline the evidence of the phenomenon of residential segregation and housing insecurity on a European scale, and to analyze the case study of Naples, Italy, evaluating the presence of the phenomena of urban segregation and housing insecurity within through the creation of a synthetic index: the “Index of housing deprivation in the neighborhoods of the city of Naples”. After analyzing the extent of the phenomena, we took a step further, seeking to understand whether there have been responses from civil society through protest movements. Indeed, another objective of this paper was to understand why, in the city of Naples, there is no strong social response. In order to give an explanation, we will carry out a comparison with the action of the social movements of Barcelona.
