No. 28 (2025): Urban fragmentation and residential segregation: New perspectives, ruptures and challenges in the cities of the 21st century

In recent decades, an increase in inequality has been detected, related to post-industrial socioeconomic restructuring, the effects of globalization, the application of neoliberal policies and the decline of the welfare state. Inequality and its various spatial manifestations, including urban fragmentation and residential segregation, have today become one of the issues that attract most attention in the analysis of contemporary cities. Socio-spatial differentiation requires a multidimensional analysis, and specifically, the monograph in this issue 28 of Cities focuses on the relationships between inequality, segregation and fragmentation.
