“…In particular, as the length of residence increases, the probability of being in an MSA decreases, reaching its minimum for those who have been in Rome for over twenty years. This supports the hypothesis that Bangladeshis have a propensity to live in neigh-bourhoods with a high concentration of compatriots, benefiting from the support of ethnic social networks, according to the ethnic enclave model [51]. In regard to context variables, when the level of socioeconomic disadvantage in the micro-area is low, Bangladeshis are more than twice as likely to be in an MSA than in a neighbourhood with a high concentration of compatriots.…”

“…For Bangladeshis, residing in an MSA seems to correspond to a move outside the city centre, on the one hand (Figure 7c), and an improvement in the socioeconomic status of their neighbourhood, on the other. In this respect, our findings show that the Bangladeshis settling in Rome have not rigidly followed the usual ethnic enclave pattern observed in other European cities [50,51], and their MSAs are present almost all over the city.…”

“…In fact, only one in 50 Bangladeshis has been a resident of Rome for more than 20 years. They have increased in number more than tenfold in the last 20 years (3000 residents in 2001), with men initially arriving alone and, in some cases, being joined by women later [50,51]. Bangladeshis traditionally prefer a central location in the less affluent eastern quadrant of the urban periphery (Figure 5c) and are concentrated in the neighbourhood of Torpignattara, consequently nicknamed 'Bangla-town' [52].…”

“…Bangladeshis residing in Rome display a marked gender imbalance, with men accounting for approximately three quarters of the total population. Consequently, Bangladeshi men are most likely to live in an MSA (Model 3), either alone or in cohabitation with male compatriots; moreover, Bangladeshi women usually live in couples with or without children [51]. Considering the other individual covariates, young adults (20-39 years old) and those who have been in Rome for less than three years are most likely to settle in MSAs.…”

This paper aims to study ethnic micro-segregation in Rome, namely, high residential concentrations of ethnic groups at the micro-area level within neighbourhoods with low concentrations of these groups, with a focus on specific situations of spatial inequality often overlooked in the debate. The Italian capital is one of the five most populous cities in the European Union and a multi-ethnic metropolis with relatively low levels of segregation. It is an urban context that has been little studied, partly due to the lack of reliable and granular data. This work is based on unpublished individual data from the 2020 population register, disaggregated into 155 neighbourhoods and 13,656 census tracts with average populations of about 18,000 and 200 residents, respectively. The five minority groups considered, Bangladeshis, Chinese, Filipinos, Romanians, and migrants from developed economy countries (DECs), add up to 55% of the total foreign residents and show different settlement patterns. The concept of micro-segregated area (MSA) is central to the scope of the analysis. An MSA is a census tract that shows a strong over-representation of a specific ethnic group despite being located within a neighbourhood where that group is under-represented. MSAs can be considered ‘interstitial’ micro-areas embedded in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods. Descriptive analysis based on location quotient (LQ) mapping and bivariate logistic models is developed to highlight (a) differences in the settlement patterns of minority ethnic groups; (b) differences in the micro-segregation of minority ethnic groups in terms of socio-demographic characteristics, settlement location, and socioeconomic status; and (c) the particular characteristics of minority ethnic groups underlying these differences. The findings indicate that differences in settlement patterns can be related to the interplay between real estate constraints and labour market specialisation. National specificities in micro-segregation are mainly linked to length of stay, but the models of the Asian groups do not offer any empirical support for the spatial assimilation hypothesis, unlike those of Romanians and DECs citizens. Further development of this research will aim to explore segregation patterns and motivations to move to MSAs using a mixed method approach.

“…Existing international comparative studies on residential segregation of the foreign populations in the European context are numerous (Musterd 2005;Arbaci 2007;Marcińczak et al 2016;Nielsen et al 2017;Andersson et al 2018a, b;Moreno-Monroy and Veneri 2018;Nieuwenhuis et al 2020). In the European context, numerous are also studies dealing with particular territorial partitions like the analysis of Arbaci (2008) referring to Southern Europe and the contributions that address the issue of residential segregation in reference to urban Europe or specific European cities (Mustered and Ostendorf 1998;Kesteloot and Cortie 1998;Bolt 2009: Musterd andVan Kempen 2009;Tammaru et al 2016;Musterd et al 2017;van Ham et al 2018;Casacchia et al 2019). Finally, there are several individual studies that, with different approaches and at various geographical scales, address the issue of residential segregation of the foreign population with reference to individual European countries.…”

Comparing Residential Segregation of Migrant Populations in Selected European Urban and Metropolitan Areas

Residential segregation is a well studied subject especially after the publication of the pioneering and seminal contribution of Duncan and Duncan (Am Sociol Rev 41:210-217, 1955). Considering the theoretical and methodological advances made since then, the contribution endeavours in describing and understanding the differences in residential segregation in an international perspective using 2011 population census data. The contribution analyses the residential segregation of migrants (here foreign citizens or foreign born) usually resident in the 493 Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) of selected European Union countries. The analysis is conducted using 2011 census data on regular grid (100 mt × 100 mt) provided by the Data Challenge on 'Integration of Migrants in Cities' (D4I) and refers to all migrants and to two sub groups (EU 28 and non EU 28). In a first step the levels and spatial patterns of residential segregation across all FUAs of France,

This research studies the residential mobility of Italians and foreigners in Rome from 2002 to 2019. We examine the differences in residential mobility patterns for (1) Italians and foreigners, (2) foreign migrants by selected country of origin, and (3) the effect of intra‐urban mobility on residential segregation. Log‐linear models and segregation indexes are used to analyze unpublished microdata on residential mobility by neighbourhood from the population register of Rome. Results show that foreigners are more mobile than Italians and more prone to move outside the area where they live, but with an increasing process of remaining in their current locations over time. Also, similarities and differences emerge by country of origin. Finally, we find residential mobility has increased the spatial concentration and clustering of foreigners in Rome, whilst reducing the dissimilarity from Italians at the same time.
