Segregation refers to the uneven spatial distribution of social groups over space. Segregation can be perceived as the spatial representation of social, cultural, and economic exclusion. There is no accepted standard way segregation is measured; instead, studies have used a wide range of methods, measurements, and indices to estimate levels of segregation. Existing studies are seldomly longitudinal in character, mostly because of lack of data, and have only been conducted until 2010 for Stockholm. The aim of this thesis is to investigate trends of residential poverty segregation in Stockholm County for the period 1991-2016. This study has utilized the isolation index, the dissimilarity index, percentile plots and location quotients on data aggregated to both administrative units and individualized neighborhoods on multiple scales to assess how these common techniques influence results. Results show that segregation patterns vary depending on technique, but most results indicate increasing levels of segregation of individuals at risk of poverty for the period 1991-2011, in line with previous research. On the other hand, the results indicate stagnating or decreasing levels of poverty segregation in recent years. Poverty segregation varies substantially by scale level, and therefore this thesis recommends multiscalar methods in segregation studies.

This study explores the intergenerational transmission of neighborhoods for the 1981 cohort of the Swedish population, focusing on the impact of parental neighborhoods on the neighborhood outcomes of young adults. Using Swedish register-based longitudinal data, the research traces the life courses of parents and their children through their neighborhood trajectories. The findings reveal that despite an overall low rate of immobility, there is a noticeable similarity in neighborhoods across generations. Residential mobility from parental neighborhoods often occurs within adjacent neighborhood poverty rankings. However, non-European migrants exhibit higher rates of neighborhood immobility and lower upward mobility compared to their European and Swedish counterparts, highlighting the influence of migrant background. Moreover, higher parental socioeconomic status mitigates the negative effects of growing up in disadvantaged neighborhoods, whereas reliance on social benefits exacerbates these effects, particularly for individuals with non-European backgrounds. Thus, despite a general trend of residential mobility, the combined impact of economic vulnerability and migrant background continues to contribute to socioeconomic residential segregation in Sweden.

The Bonton and Ideal neighborhoods in Dallas Texas, developed in the early 1900s, experienced physical and social decay throughout the 1980s. Neighborhood organizations and resident activism were vital to the rebirth of the community in the 1990s. Current revitalization efforts taking place there have been a source of contention as the neighborhood continues to overcome inequalities created by decades of racialized city planning initiatives. This thesis focuses on how the structuring structure of whiteness has historically affected, and continues to affect, the neighborhoods of Ideal and Bonton, as well as acts to identify how black residents have navigated their landscape and increased their collective capital through neighborhood activism.
