“…He suggests that outcomes such as these are the result of London's global role and its specific industrial, occupational and social structure. Similar arguments are presented for other cities and regions in Europe with research such as the collection by Musterd and Ostendorf (1998) and the research by Rhein (1998) and Wessel (2001) pointing to the ways in which processes of socio-economic change have come to impact on the sociospatial structures.…”

Marcuse (1997, p.228-229) talks about changes in space and race which have contributed to new processes of exclusion that are part of 'a broad pattern that makes up the post-Fordist city', while Soja (1997, p. 193) talks about forces altering the urban social structure in a way that has seen the form of the city explode 'to an unprecedented scale, scope and complexity'.…”

New national and international economic and social forces have reshaped national geographies in general and the characteristics of cities in particular, resulting in a range of diverse social and spatial outcomes. These outcomes, which include greater differentiation across, within and between cities has become a feature of the economic and social forces associated with post-Fordist social structures. Taking localities across Australia's metropolitan regions this paper develops a typology of advantage and disadvantage using a model-based approach with clustering of data represented by a parameterised Gaussian mixture model and confidence intervals of the means providing a measure of differences between the clusters. The analysis finds seven clusters of localities that represent different aspects of the socio-spatial structure of the metropolitan regions studied.

Space and Place: Social Exclusion in Australia's Suburban Heartlands

As a prolonged period of Australian prosperity ends, attention has now begun to turn to the likely impacts of a severe economic downturn. The pain of recession is unlikely to be evenly distributed across the population or across space. Not that the previous economic good fortune was evenly spread across society. It is, therefore, expected that a new layer of socio-economic stress will be laid over existing patterns of social and spatial disparity. In this context, questions of deprivation and social exclusion are an important ongoing concern. Deprivation and social exclusion are operative at a number of levels of society. Neo-liberal thought and policy has been directed at the level of the individual. However, space and place are also important, as spatially concentrated disadvantage has structural consequences for both individual fortunes and the broader social fabric. This article considers the spatial distribution of disadvantage across our major metropolitan regions and considers potential approaches to address social exclusion in our suburban heartlands.

“…What we cannot say, is whether each end of the industrial hierarchy is drifting apart. Judged by previous research (Wessel 2001), one should not expect a growing polarization into an hour-glass social structure.…”

Living at the edge? Connecting work insecurity and housing risk among service workers in Oslo

The lower end of the labour service market is often described as a fragmented and insecure section of the economy. The article extends previous research by determining whether labour market insecurity increases perceived threats to the security and affordability of housing. The research draws upon the results of a survey conducted in Oslo of workers in low-paid service occupations. The analyses confirm distinct associations between labour market insecurity and self-reported housing risk. The results further show that perceived insecurity is heightened among three groups, namely non-Westerners, people on low incomes, and housing tenants. When the findings are considered as a whole, a picture emerges of risk cutting into the fringes of the politicalÁ economic system.
