  2. www.ccsr.ac.uk/staff/ludi/race.htmlClaims and evidence • “Whites will soon become a minority in Birmingham and other major British cities, posing a critical challenge to social stability, Britain’s race relations watchdog has warned. • “The warning comes as government statistics show that white and ethnic minority communities are becoming increasingly segregated by growing population movement and immigration. • “Phillips will highlight the issue this week at a conference in Leicester, which the CRE predicts will become a plural city by 2011, with the others [Birmingham, Oldham and Bradford] crossing the threshold by 2016.” Sunday Times, March 19th 2006, David Leppard N o t t r u e!

  3. Population dynamics, England • Growth of Caribbean, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi populations is more through natural growth (reproduction) than immigration, 1991-2001 Black: natural change (excess of births over deaths). Grey: Net migration. Source: Williamson (2003)

  6. Table 2. Indices of segregation and diversity, for wards of England and Wales www.ccsr.ac.uk->working papers-> “Ghettos of the mind…” Indices of segregation

  7. Indices of movement and diversity

  8. http://asp.ccsr.ac.uk/dwpThose who move out of inner areas are better off than those who stay, but big inequalities remain

  9. Other research • Greater London Authority Nov 05 • Simpson’s Diversity Index: greater diversity over time • Polarised enclaves: fewer in 2001 than 1991 • Ghettos: none • Poulsen (Johnston and Forrest) Sept 05 • Index of isolation: increased • Ghettos: none • Phillips, survey-based Society and Space 05 • Dispersal in fact and in aspirations of young Asian families • Dorling and Rees 2002, and many others • Social geography becoming more polarised • Rees, 2005 for Joseph Rowntree Foundation

  10. What’s round the corner? and what can be done about it? • More Black and Asian areas, with probably higher proportions of Black and Asian residents • Indices of ‘isolation’ will go up for Asian populations • Not policy sensitive: we don’t ask people not to have children • More dispersal to other areas: diversity and mixing; a residential mosaic • Increase labour market equality and economic prosperity • Remove barriers in the housing market • The safety and comfort of potential new areas outside settlement areas

  11. What’s round the corner? and what can be done about it? • Fear • at top and bottom • Community cohesion / CRE policies for equality, interaction and participation • View clusters as a means to integration, not its antithesis • Reduce inflammatory views of Black areas • New thinking on the meaning of integration and segregation
