“…Consistent with multinodal conceptions of urban structure (Hanlon et al 2006; Lang 2003), most of the metro areas in our sample have more than one such city. Many principal cities occupy a core location where minority and immigrant groups concentrate, rendering them very diverse (Foner 2013; Price and Benton-Short 2008; Waldinger and Lee 2001).…”

“…For instance, stereotypes have long contrasted homogeneous suburbia with the diverse urban core, but suburban places now display a range of racial/ethnic mixes, not to mention variety on housing type, socioeconomic status, and other dimensions (Hall and Lee 2010; Hanlon et al 2006; Singer et al 2008). Moreover, generalizations about metropolitan-wide diversity may hide homogeneous minority-dominated places or changes in diversity that only affect certain kinds of places.…”

The Contributions of Places to Metropolitan Ethnoracial Diversity and Segregation: Decomposing Change Across Space and Time

Although the trend toward greater ethnoracial diversity in the United States has been documented at a variety of geographic scales, most research tracks diversity one scale at a time. Our study bridges scales, asking how the diversity and segregation patterns of metropolitan areas are influenced by shifts in the racial/ethnic composition of their constituent places. Drawing on 1980–2010 decennial census data, we use a new visual tool to compare the distributions of place diversity for 50 U.S. metro areas over three decades. We also undertake a decomposition analysis of segregation within these areas to evaluate hypotheses about the roles of different types of places in ethnoracial change. The decomposition indicates that although principal cities continue to shape the overall diversity of metro areas, their relative impact has declined since 1980. Inner suburbs have experienced substantial increases in diversity during the same period. Places with large white majorities now contribute more to overall metropolitan diversity than in the past. In contrast, majority black and majority Hispanic places contribute less to metropolitan diversity than in the past. The complexity of the patterns we observe is underscored through an inspection of two featured metropolises: Chicago and Dallas.

“…Few studies of community sustainability have approached a sample size as large as the one employed here, with the notable exception of Opp and Saunders [18], which employs the same policy dataset. Other relevant comparisons can be found in classifications of urban-suburban place types, which employ similar socio-demographic variables and derive similar factors, but which do not engage directly with sustainability [20,22,23,41]. Our work extends these and other earlier analyses into a meaningful matchup of community characteristics and sustainability plans and policies that controls for the effects of state level policy mandates.…”

Abstract:Understanding the system of connections between societal contexts and policy outcomes in municipal governments provides important insights into how community sustainability happens, and why it happens differently in various communities. A growing body of research in recent years has focused on understanding the socio-economic characteristics of communities and cities that are recognized as policy leaders in sustainability. In this paper, we expand the focus beyond the leaders in sustainability as we apply a selection of socio-demographic influences of community sustainability to a large sample of U.S. communities using community classification analytics to identity a range of community types and levels of engagement with sustainability. Our typology presents an integrated and comprehensive perspective on the structure of community sustainability in the United States, highlighting key points of comparison between human capital factors such as population size and density, affluence, home ownership, and adoption of sustainability policy. The analysis provides new insights not only about community leaders in sustainability, but also communities with the civic and social capacity to do more, and the challenges that may inhibit sustainability efforts in others.

“…Since the early days of the Chicago School, researchers have paid close attention to issues of segregation within a metropolitan context. Over the past decade, scholars on multiple fronts have re-engaged with metropolitan segregationhistorians have been working to undo the overblown urban/suburban dichotomy (e.g., Kruse and Sugrue, 2006), while a growing list of social scientists have been tracking the suburbanization of poverty (e.g., Hanlon et al, 2006;Berube, 2007;Short et al, 2007;Vicino, 2008;Kneebone and Garr, 2010;Murphy, 2010) and questioning the role of politics and public policy in both producing and coping with these new patterns (Dreier et al, on American communities, and about the scarier truths laid bare by the bursting of an unprecedented bubble.…”

Urban Geography

The wake of the foreclosure crisis warrants renewed attention to geographies of race and real estate. This case study of the San Francisco Bay Area shows that outlying exurban communities on the metropolitan fringe, which saw major in-migrations of communities of color over the past three decades, were hard hit by the real estate crash, after having seen substantial housing price increases during the tail end of the boom. The potential impact on wealth and asset accumulation for these communities is significant. Rather than traditional forms of segregation, this new geography of crisis suggests a form of peripheralization, where minority communities in particular were lured out to the far suburbs under structural conditions of neoliberalism, far different from the federally supported suburbanization of two generations ago. This new reality is reminiscent of the urban roots of the foreclosure crisis, and of the need to view the crisis at a metropolitan scale.[
