Sorting, segregation, and social distance

Chapter 5 in Rethinking Neighborhoods, 2024, pp 83-112 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter examines how resources, preferences, affinity, and social distance create the clustering we observe in cities. Just how do they create the clustering we observe in cities? I am especially interested in their relative roles in the clustering process. Of course, it is also important to recognize that the process is not independent of the institutional framework within which choices occur. The clustering we observe in cities is the outcome of a complex set of behaviors and choices. This chapter investigates that complex process and how it matters for rethinking neighborhoods.
