ABSTRACT
This empirical analysis measures and compares the segregation patterns of urban residents and housing provisions over a large metropolitan area. To address the inconsistency of segregation measures due to the scale effect – one of the most intractable methodological problems in segregation research – multiscale analysis is employed. Multiscale analysis enables a more comprehensive understanding of the implications of residential segregation at different geographical and administrative levels. Dedicated local segregation indices are determined using high-resolution demographic and building data covering the entire city to examine the patterns of segregation in the population and housing at different scales, and to suggest reasons and implications for these patterns.
