Städtische Sozialstrukturen und residentielle Segregationsmuster am Beispiel Basel-Stadt

Recent social transformations have led to a changing
structure in urban social space. Social scientists postulate
the dissolution of formerly homogenous city quarters into a manifold spatial mosaic of different lifestyle
groups. This study empirically documents and analyses social segregation processes for different social
groups in the city of Basle. Social modernity, social
Standing and internal heterogeneity of the respective
social group turn out to have an important influence
on the creation of «new» spatial structures. The residential surroundings are included in the investigation
in order to assess the impact of space on processes of
social segregation.
