“…Prior research generally confirms the ecological theory that residential segregation between ethnic groups is directly associated with measurable differences in social and economic variables (Darroch & Marston, 1971;Guest & Weed, 1976;Lieberson, 1963;Massey, 1979;Massey & Denton, 1993;Taeuber & Taeuber, 1964). However, ecological theory inadequately explains the residential segregation of blacks in metropolitan areas.…”

According to ecological theory, the socioeconomic status of a minority group is inversely related to the group's level of residential segregation from the majority group. This article determines whether the level of black socioeconomic status is related to the level of black residential segregation in the city of Detroit and Detroit's suburbs. Data were obtained from the U.S. Bureau of Census, 1990 Summary Tape Files 4-A. The methods employed to measure residential segregation were the indexes of dissimilarity D and isolation P * . Indexes were computed by census tract to measure segregation and isolation between blacks and whites at the same level of occupation, income, or education. The results revealed that residential segregation between blacks and whites remained high (i.e., above 50%) in both the city and the suburbs despite comparable socioeconomic status. Blacks in the suburbs were more segregated and isolated than blacks in the city at each socioeconomic level.

“…Many lines of work stemmed from this view in the following decades: Duncan and Duncan's () dissimilarity index, Liberson () on ethnical assimilation, Tauber and Tauber () on black migration, Guest and Weed () on causal relations in social and residential segregation, Massey and Denton () on spatial patterns of racial segregation, and Quillian () on black–white residential segregation and migration, among many others. Thomas Schelling () famously showed how the effects of individual preferences on location unfold into patterns of residential segregation, and how an integrated society would generally unravel into a segregated one even though no individual actor strictly prefers this (see also Pancs and Vriend, ).…”

Segregation has been one of the most persistent features of urban life and, accordingly, one of the main subjects of enquiry in urban studies. Stemming from a tradition that can be traced back to the Chicago School in the early twentieth century, social segregation has been seen as the natural consequence of the social division of space. Such naturalized understanding of segregation as ‘territorial segregation' takes space as a surrogate for social distance. We propose a shift in the focus from the static segregation of places—where social distance is assumed rather than fully explained—to how social segregation is reproduced through embodied urban trajectories. We aim to accomplish this by exploring the spatial behaviour of different social groups as networks of movement that constitute opportunities for co‐presence. This alternative view recasts the original idea of segregation as ‘restrictions on interaction' by concentrating on the spatiality of segregation potentially active in the circumstances of social contact and encounters in the city. This approach to segregation as a subtle process that operates ultimately through trajectories of the body is illustrated by an empirical study in a Brazilian city.

“…7 The fairly even sex ratios among migrants from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Burma indicate the family nature of those movements. 1959June 19651965-19661966-19671967-19681968-19691969-19701970-19711971-19721972-19731973-19781978-19791959-1979 Little else can be said about the immigrants from available secondary data. According to research conducted by the Department of Immigration in 1970-1971 the greatest numbers were settling in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, principally in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.…”
