The Consequences of Spatial Inequality for Adolescent Residential Mobility

A large body of literature suggests that neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage is positively associated with out-mobility. However, prior research has been limited by (1) the inability to account for endogenous factors that both funnel families into deprived neighborhoods and increase their likelihood of moving out, and (2) the failure to...

Trajectories of neighborhood change

Neighborhoods represent a scale at which inequalities are reflected in the unequal spatial distribution of ethnic and income groups across urban space. However, neighborhoods are not static entities and spatial patterns of socioeconomic and ethnic inequality shift over time as a result of processes of neighborhood change. This dissertation has...

Trajectories of ethnic neighbourhood change:: Spatial patterns of increasing ethnic diversity

Western cities are increasingly ethnically diverse, and in most cities, the share of the population belonging to an ethnic minority is growing. Studies analysing changing ethnic geographies often limit their analysis to changes in ethnic concentrations in neighbourhoods between 2 points in time. Such a temporally limited approach limits our...

The effects of physical restructuring on the socioeconomic status of neighbourhoods: Selective migration and upgrading

In the last few decades, many governments have implemented urban restructuring programmes with the main goal of combating a variety of socioeconomic problems in deprived neighbourhoods. The main instrument of restructuring has been housing diversification and tenure mixing. The demolition of low-quality (social) housing and the construction of...

The Effects of Physical Restructuring on the Socioeconomic Status of Neighborhoods: Selective Migration and Upgrading

In the last few decades, urban restructuring programs have been implemented in many Western European cities with the main goal of combating a variety of socioeconomic problems in deprived neighborhoods. The main instrument of restructuring has been housing diversification and tenure mixing. The demolition of low-quality (social) housing and the...

Spatial Segregation and Socio-Economic Mobility in European Cities

Income inequality is increasing in European cities and this rising inequality has a spatial footprint in cities and neighbourhoods. Poor and rich people are increasingly living separated and this can threaten the social sustainability of cities. Low income people, often with an ethnic minority background, can get cut off from important social...

Trajectories of Neighborhood Change: Spatial Patterns of Increasing Ethnic Diversity

Western cities are increasingly ethnically diverse and in most cities the share of ethnic minorities is growing. Studies analyzing changing ethnic geographies often limit their analysis to changes in ethnic concentrations in neighborhoods between two points in time. Such a static approach limits our understanding of pathways of ethnic...

The global financial crisis and neighborhood decline

Neighborhood decline is a complex and multidimensional process. National and regional variations in economic and political structures (including varieties in national welfare state arrangements), combined with differences in neighborhood history, development, and population composition, make it impossible to identify an ideal-type process of...

The Path-Dependency of Low-Income Neighbourhood Trajectories: An Approach for Analysing Neighbourhood Change

The gap between wealthy and disadvantaged neighbourhoods seems to be increasing in many contemporary Western cities. Most studies of neighbourhood change focus on specific case-studies of neighbourhood downgrading or gentrification. Studies investigating socio-spatial polarisation in larger urban areas often compare neighbourhoods at two...

Divided Cities: Increasing Socio-Spatial Polarization within Large Cities in the Netherlands (discussion paper)

There is increasing evidence that our societies are polarizing. Most studies focus on labour market and educational outcomes and show a socioeconomic polarization of the bottom and top ends of the population distribution. Processes of social polarization have a spatial dimension which should be visible in the changing mosaic of neighbourhoods in...

Lessen over buurtontwikkeling en buurtverval

Steden zijn een bron en broedplaats van economische en culturele ontwikkeling. Maar wat is nu de kracht van de stad? Om dit uit te zoeken hebben onderzoekers en professionals hun krachten en expertise gebundeld in het programma Kennis voor Krachtige Steden (KKS). Het resultaat: concrete oplossingsrichtingen voor stedelijke sociaal-economische...

Neighborhood Decline and the Economic Crisis (discussion paper)

Neighborhood decline is a complex and multidimensional process. National and regional variation in economic and political structures (including variety in national welfare state arrangements), combined with differences in neighborhood history, development and population composition, makes it extremely difficult to identify a unilateral process...

Kwaliteitsplannen + Lean construction

Met als bijlage: A0 poster. Dit afstudeeronderzoek betreft de onderwerpen 'kwaliteitsplannen' en 'Lean construction'. Dit houdt in dat ik de kaders 'kwaliteitsplannen' en 'Lean construction' beide ontleed heb en duidelijk maak wat dit inhoudt. Omdat ik mij als doel stel om de kwaliteit van bouwwerken te verbeteren richt ik me hier op. Dit houdt...

Kustdynamiek van vooroeversuppleties

Bij het verdedigen van een zandige kust wordt in toenemende mate gebruik gemaakt van zandsuppleties. Grote voordelen van zandsuppleties t.o.v. een verdediging met harde constructies (bv. strandhoofden) zijn de relatief lage aanlegkosten, de flexibiliteit en het feit dat het uiterlijk van de bestaande kust gehandhaafd blijft. Een nadeel is de...
