Abstract

There is currently a growing interest in the spatial causes of poverty, particularly its persistance. This paper presents methodological innovations that have been developed for investigating the relationship between physical segregation and economic marginalisation in the urban environment. Using GIS to layer historial poverty data, contemporary deprivation indexes and space syntax measures of spatial segregation, a multivariate system has been created to enable the understanding of the spatial process involved in the creation and stagnation of poverty areas as well as to analyse the street segment scale of configuration.
