Presenting an international comparison of segregation patterns of immigrants and policy reactions at local and state level, this book sets out to give an insight into the European experience with ethnic segregation in metropolitan areas. European cities have generally become multi-ethnic metropolises, consisting of a mix of ethnic categories, but a homogeneous European picture does not exist. Patterns of ethnic segregation and policy reactions differ from city to city. The metropolises compared in this study are Amsterdam, Brussels, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, London, Manchester, Paris and Stockholm, and the Canadian city of Toronto. The book is intended for researchers and students in the fields of geographical, ethnic and policy studies, as well as for civil servants and policy-makers working in large metropolises and national governments.
