Overview
- In-depth micro resolution research can recognize real dynamic processes which other studies in the field have overlooked as they have tended to work with patterns
- Aims to interject in more narrow public debate on segregation by identifying the difficulties for planning to implement agendas and regulate resources
- Studies core methodologies through joining of detailed, primary empirical research, collected through direct engagement with the communities of interest, with a wider theoretical and modelling framework
- There is no popular theory that examines the explicit and implicit orders that determine residential dynamics of Haredi groups using such high-resolution and multi-disciplinary tools

About this book
Based on residential records at the resolution of single family and apartment covering a period of 17 years, the study reveals and analyses powerful mechanisms of residential relations at the apartment, building and the near neighbourhood level. Taken together, these revealed mechanisms are candidates for explaining the dynamics of residential segregation in the area during the period 1995 to 2012. Whitechapel's communities are extremely diverse, composed of 27 ethnic and religious groups and sub-groups. The residential preferences of group members are highly affected by the need to live among "friends" – other members of the same group. How is it that the area has been so attractive for so many people to live in, whilst at the same time being so diverse that people cannot achieve their stated preferences to live amongst 'friends'?
