In search of Britain’s Muslim ghettoes

Environment and Planning A, 2016, vol. 48, issue 9, 1684-1690

Abstract: The local media have recently carried a number of stories suggesting that Muslim ghettoes are developing in British cities – a claim also made about European cities more generally. Analysis of data from the 2001 and 2011 Censuses of England and Wales suggests that these representations are journalistic hyperbole: most British Muslims live in small city blocks where they form only a minority of the local population.
