Abstract: There are relatively few comparative cross-European studies on segregation, and those that do exist often use a single measure of segregation at a single spatial scale. This paper investigates ethnic segregation in seven European capitals (Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Paris, and Rome) using the five dimensions of segregation (centralisation, evenness, exposure, clustering, and concentration) at multiple spatial scales. For each dimension, we found very different levels of segregation. Moreover, the impact of scale was different in both between and within cities relative to their cores and hinterlands. Crucially, we found that segregation does not necessarily decrease with spatial scale.
