ABSTRACT
In this book we have seen that the emergence of the industrial city led to the development of spatial segregation. The first form of spatial segregation was the separation of work and the home. Mixed land use for work and home characterized the preindustrial city, but in the industrial city people no longer worked where they lived. Segregated land-use patterns were based on function; factories, commercial, business, and shopping areas were separated from residential areas. The second form of spatial segregation separated neighborhoods by class, race, and ethnicity. In the preindustrial city, people of different classes intermingled. Lyn H. Lofland (1973) observed that you could not tell who the strangers were by their locale, but rather by their appearance. In the industrial city, Robert Park and his colleagues at the University of Chicago, in the first part of the twentieth century, refer to the “mosaic of social worlds”—the Little Italys, Chinatowns, Greek Towns, and Skid Rows.
