Title |
Residential Segregation of Visible Minorities in Canada's Gateway Cities
|
Abstract |
The authors point out that although the influx of visible minority immigrants has created an atmosphere of diversity and multiculturalism in Canada's three major gateway cities - Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver - immigration has also produced metropolitan landscapes of fragmentation and ethnic separation. The objective of the authors' study is to compare the residential patterns of visible minority populations in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, using a rigorous and consistent method that examines the temporal and spatial nature of segregation and its links to local housing characteristics. They review the literature on models of urban separation, and ethnic and visible minority segregation in Canadian cities, and develop four propositions regarding expected residential patterns and concentrations of visible minorities. The authors test these propositions using an analysis of 1986, 1991 and 1996 Census data, in which residential patterns in the three cities are examined and related to the distribution of different types of housing.
