My project at CNRS

Investigate the link between economic inequality and spatial segregation

Describe inequality at various geographic scales (global, national, regional, urban, local)

Come up with new measures of inequality to incorporate spatial distribution

Model and simulate inequality including dynamics in time and space

Test public policy scenario and compare effects at different geographical scales

Research question

Is there a relationship between social and spatial practices sensed by mobile phone data and the socioeconomic structure of cities?

 

Are they uniformly robust to city definition?

  • or are there differences depending on the indicator of mobile phone chosen?
  • or some delineations of cities are more illustrative of statistical relations than others?

Which definition(s) of cities?

How do mobile phone indicators vary with measures of socioeconomic organisation of cities?

Do these relations vary when the definition of cities change?

Results

The different definitions

Negative Correlation

Positive Correlation

The different indicators

Results

Where cities are poorer on average,

their residents have been less active, their calls shorter,

their mobility shorter and less diversified

Results

Where cities are poorer on average,

their residents have called more calls from home,

the intensity of their interactions with contacts was stronger

Results

The correlation with the total number of calls and

the share of nocturnal calls depends on city definition

Results

Where cities are more unequal on average,

their residents have been in more calls, have been more mobile and diversified in terms of social and spatial networks

Results

Temporal indicators do not correlate much

with city levels of inequality

Results

Spatial segregation by earnings in cities is associated with less calls and shorter ones, less contacts and less active days.

Results

But most correlations can go both directions

depending on the city delineation chosen.

When segregation increases,

Results

Restrictive definitions of dense city core

When segregation increases,

Results

When segregation increases,

diversity of contacts called decreases

(for large cities)

or

no correlation

(p < 30,000)

Results

Poverty and segregation levels and (to a lesser extent) inequality account for a significant share of variations in size and diversity of the social network called and the spatial network of cell towers

Poverty correlates with a decrease in size and diversity of networks, regardless of city definition

 

 

Poverty and segregation levels and (to a lesser extent) inequality account for a significant share of variations in size and diversity of the social network called and the spatial network of cell towers

Results

It correlates with an intensification of interaction per contact and an increase in calls from home

Results

Poverty and segregation levels and (to a lesser extent) inequality account for a significant share of variations in size and diversity of the social network called and the spatial network of cell towers

Poverty correlates with a decrease in size and diversity of networks, regardless of city definition

Results

Poverty and segregation levels and (to a lesser extent) inequality account for a significant share of variations in size and diversity of the social network called and the spatial network of cell towers

Segregation correlates with a decrease in size and diversity of social networks. For spatial networks, statistical relations depends heavily on city definition

Results

Poverty and segregation levels and (to a lesser extent) inequality account for a significant share of variations in size and diversity of the social network called and the spatial network of cell towers

Inequality correlates with a increase in diversity and intensity of networks, regardless of city definition

Results

Poverty and segregation levels and (to a lesser extent) inequality account for a significant share of variations in size and diversity of the social network called and the spatial network of cell towers

This is even more true for definitions close to metropolitan areas (dense city core and integrated commuting periphery)

Results

Poverty and segregation levels and (to a lesser extent) inequality account for a significant share of variations in size and diversity of the social network called and the spatial network of cell towers

This is less true for definitions of compact cities (very dense city core and no commuting periphery)

Results

Some mobile phone indicators vary independently from the socio-economic structure of cities (length of calls, share of nocturnal calls)

Conclusions

Economic inequalities are sensitive to geographical space

 

Economic inequalities are sensitive to city size and morphology

 

 

The link between income, inequality and segregation is to be explored further, at the level of cities and citizens
