A study of how segregation affects urban areas

Professor Harrison Campbell, along with colleagues in China and the USA, published a study called “Residential Segregation, Spatial Mismatch and Economic Growth across US Metropolitan Areas” in the journal Urban Studies (http://usj.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/03/01/0042098013477697) which was written up an article in The Atlantic called “Why Segregation Is Bad For Everyone” (http://www.theatlanticcities.com/jobs-and-economy/2013/05/why-segregation-bad-everyone/5476/) where Campbell was quoted saying “Most work that’s been done in this area looks at the impact of things like segregation on those who are segregated, it looks at their employment probabilities, their wage rates. The argument that we’re trying to make here is that there is reason for everybody in metropolitan areas to be concerned about skills, about education, about housing, about segregation, about integration.”
