Compared to the maps of living-area-by-race in the US [1], it seems like there is much less segregation between black and white people in London. I wonder why this is the case? Also, I wonder why there is still heavy segregation in regards to the Asian populations in London.
I should add that the apparent mixing between blacks and whites could be because the grey and blue dots look too similar in the London map, but I still think there is more mixing than in the US.

- Cuuugi 12y agoTheres a much heavier contingent of Asian (specifically Indian) immigrants to the UK. People tend to cling to familiarity in foreign lands. As for the Black/White dynamic i have no idea. Source:My Butt
- hcho 12y agoThe social housing policies in the UK deliberately tried to tackle social segregation. You would see council blocks 2 streets away in the poshest of the areas. South Asian and Caribbean populations are overrepresented as users of social housing in London as the jobs they were brought in to do don't exist anymore.
- fractalsea 12y agoInteresting. That is probably the reason why ex-councel houses are rented out for so much money after they are bought from the council. They are often in very desirable areas. I wonder what the measurable/measured effects of this deliberate integrated housing system have been. I.e. there most have been some objects, and I wonder if they were met.
