The programme aims to improve our understanding of the patterns, mechanisms and consequences of ethnic, socioeconomic and demographic segregation over time using a multiscalar approach and
including features of the built environment. Three mechanisms of segregation and its consequences for residential and socioeconomic inequalities are in focus: the role of intergenerational neighbourhood transmission, of residential sorting of mixed ethnic households, and of new housing constructions. The project has a comparative approach including Sweden and the Netherlands.

Involved researchers at Stockholm University are PI Karen Haandrikman, Juta Kawalerowicz and Ida Borg; at the University of Amsterdam: Willem Boterman and Joeke Kuyvenhoven.
