The journal Ciudades opens a call for papers for the monographic section of its 28th issue, which aims to address how processes of residential fragmentation and segregation are expressed in different socio-cultural contexts and at different urban scales. Studies should consider the manifestations of urban fragmentation, from the perspective of physical, morphological, housing and social divisions. Analyses can also be developed on the different typologies of residential segregation, in all its dimensions and new perspectives, according to their demographic and socio-economic factors and conditioning factors. It is appropriate to open up a space for dialogue and reflection to conceptualise and map the geography of these new urban inequalities, applying complementary approaches and methodologies (quantitative and qualitative). A call is made to encourage the study of emerging social ruptures in urban spaces. Papers are invited to identify, quantify and characterise them from different approaches (social, housing, spatial and/or temporal). The call for papers aims to contribute to enriching the knowledge and the widening trajectories of socio-spatial separations in cities at the beginning of the 21st century.
