“…Nor is public housing present in our province, as is the case, for example, in France (Verdugo, 2011). In this sense, Benassi et al (2020) show how in Spanish and Italian cities there is a correlation between lower levels of low-income immigrants and higher levels of residential segregation, indicative of the difficulties that low-income immigrants have when it comes to accessing a home. At the other end of the scale, high levels of segregation can also be found: thus, Floch (2017), in his study of 12 French cities, shows that levels of segregation are higher in areas of high living standards.…”

The presence of foreigners in the province of Málaga is highly noticeable, especially in specific municipalities such as the city of Málaga, coastal areas, or villages in the Axarquia region. But from a geographical point of view, there are comparatively few investigations dedicated to the definition of the space in which foreign immigrants reside. The aim of this research is to provide a description of the habitats where people who were born abroad tend to concentrate in the province of Málaga. The main novelty of the research is the scale of analysis we have used being intramunicipal, based on Nomenclator statistics. This is especially relevant when we are dealing with small municipalities in some of which the proportion of foreigners is quite high, because it is the only one that allows us to characterise the habitat of the foreigners.

“…But existing more advantages rather the local inhabitants, and swiftly increased their population, caused the inconveniences accord to ethics. So, they must reside in the suburbs as occurred a similar situation in Europe (Benassi, Iglesias-Pascual & Salvati, 2020). Ethnic diversity is also determinant in the transformation of the clustering urban pattern.…”

The settlement patterns that occur by the spatial distribution of the population vary according to the morphological characteristics and economic resources of the region at which they are located. While Hatay is located in Turkey's south between the Mediterranean Sea, the Amanos Mountains, and the Syrian border, it forms from settlements areas in which are diverse sizes and different shapes. The study aims to examine the impact of geomorphology on settlements and to reveal the relationship between the settlement typologies, economy, and demography. 2018 Corine Land Cover data, 2019 TUIK data, and Hatay Metropolitan Municipality data were investigated within this scope. According to the results, settlement areas of Hatay were classified into four groups with four patterns, while the patterns varied by the existence of economic structure. The pattern distribution was determined as dispersed-clustered in the industrial region, as linear in the tourism zone, and as dispersed in the agricultural production zone. Settlements were also densely affected and transformed by the 2011 Syrian refugee crisis due to the Syrian civil war. In conclusion, while geomorphology, advanced production systems, developed transportation axes, and international relations are effective in Hatay's settlement alterations, so these dynamics should strictly consider in city planning.

“…At the same time, a refined investigation of social forces and economic mechanisms that underlie the differential fertility of peri-urban industrial areas and residential non-industrial suburban districts is needed in a changing metropolitan context, such as Athens. A specific analysis of the social composition of both areas-focusing also on the immigrant population-seems to be appropriate in this regard [128]. Such forces could be better understood when explaining the low fertility rates typical of rural areas during both expansion and recession [129].…”

“…Second, the time interval under investigation in this study , and especially the 1990s and the 2000s, coincided with a significant influx of foreign, non-European immigrants to Greece. It was rather well-documented how fertility among non-European immigrants tends to be higher than that in the local native populations in the host countries [126][127][128]. The differential role of non-Western immigrants in fertility recovery before 2008 and the consequent reduction in the following years should be more clearly addressed using micro-data from administrative registers and population censuses [129].…”

Fertility is a spatially non-stationary property of regional demographic systems. Despite the wealth of quantitative (micro–macro) information delineating short-term population dynamics in advanced economies, the contribution of economic downturns to local fertility has still been under-investigated along urban–rural gradients, especially in low-fertility contexts. Recent studies have assumed suburban fertility rates as systematically higher than urban and rural fertility rates. This assumption (hereafter known as the “suburban fertility hypothesis”) has been grounded on stylized facts and spatial regularities in advanced economies that reflect a significant role of both macro (contextual) and micro (behavioral) factors that positively influence fertility in suburban locations. To test the suburban fertility hypothesis at the macro-scale, the present study compares gross fertility rates from seven regional units of the Athens metropolitan area between 1991 and 2018. A refined spatial analysis of gross fertility rates during an economic expansion (1999–2008) and recession (2009–2018) was carried out in 115 urban, suburban, and rural municipalities of the same area. Experiencing sequential waves of economic expansion and recession, Athens’ socio-demographic dynamics were considered a sort of “quasi-experiment” for Southern Europe, linking late suburbanization with the multiple impacts of (rapid) economic downturns. Compared with both urban and rural locations, a higher fertility rate in suburban municipalities (15–20 km away from downtown Athens) was observed during the study period. However, a subtle distinction was observed during the economic expansion versus the recession. In the first period, the highest birth rates were recorded in industrial locations west of Athens, hosting economically disadvantaged communities with a relatively young population structure. With the recession, the highest fertility was associated with residential and service-specialized (wealthier) locations east of Athens, attracting resident population from neighboring areas, and better responding to crisis. The results of our study document how recent urban expansion and economic downturns have intrinsically shaped fertility dynamics, with implications for urban sustainability and social cohesion of metropolitan regions.
