CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
Executive Summary
At what point does a meaningful neighborhood, a community based on neighborly bonds, intimacy,
proximity, informality and contact 2 become a segregated colony, enclave based on citizenship,
economic status, vice and ethnicity? Pa k s 1915 essay on The City invites urban scholars to look more
closely at this question, to explore what constitutes a neighborhood, and neighborhood change, and
in so doing also processes of segregation. On the basis of this invitation, this study seeks to provide a
broad overview of segregation research in China. It is not a study of whether the concept of
segregation, as utilized by Park in 1915, exists in China today. ‘athe , it takes Pa k s p og a
ati
vision about segregation research and considers what research on segregation is like in China today.
This is ot a stud of a tual seg egatio , ut athe a su e of the t pes of esea h o e i g a ious
forms of socio-spatial differentiation in urban China.
This report begins with 1) a problem definition to establish why segregation is a significant urban
phenomenon worth studying. It lays out why Park thought it should be studied, and how. As part of
the problem definition, and on the basis of the following literature review, segregation is established
as an urban process in China that is worth studying, but on different grounds. 2) The modes of
segregation research is based on a literature review of research on urban China predominantly
focused on the past 20 years. The results of this review were clustered in three dominant modes of
segregation research in urban China: material, legal and morphological. The empirical research design
substantiating these claims and their methodologies are considered. 3) Key research areas are defined,
based on empirical gaps identified and potential for urban theorization.
The scope of this report is delimited to segregation research as it pertains to urban spatial form and
does not cover other forms of social group differentiation like labor market segmentation or
demographic change. These processes are included to the extent that they are referenced in the
segregation research (ie. Related to danwei or the middle class). It serves as a complement to the
scoping study on association, sociability and agency, which deals similarly with sociospatial

goal of the report is to design a program of research on segregation in urban China, inspired by Park
but informed by the rich breadth of work currently underway.

1. The problem of problem definition: Why study segregation?
In contradistinction to the traditional neighborhood, Park characterizes the urban neighborhood in
terms of racial colonies, segregated vice districts and occupational suburbs (580neighborhood sentiment

becomes less permanent and tied to variously constructed social groups rather than traditional kinship
bonds. Whereas the traditional neighborhood was based on forms of intimacy, the residential
segregation evident in urban neighborhoods correlates with racial antagonisms and class interests
(582). The simultaneous experiences of social group formation, neighborhood settlements and social
conflict is evident in his description of processes of segregation:
… he e i di iduals of the sa e a e o of the sa e o atio li e togethe i
segregated groups, neighborhood sentiment tends to fuse together with racial
antagonisms and class interests. In this way physical and sentimental distances
reinforce each other, and the influences of local distribution of the population
participate with the influences of class and race in the evolution of the social
organization. Every great city has its racial colonies, like the Chinatowns of San
F a is o a d Ne
Yo k, the Little “i il of Chi ago … I additio to these,
ost
cities have their segregated vice districts, like that which until recently existed in
Chicago, and their rendez-vous for criminals of various sorts. Every large city has
its occupational suburbs like the Stockyards in Chicago, and its residence suburbs
like Brookline in Boston, each of which has the size and the character of a complete
separate town, village, or city, except that its population is a selected one. (582)
Because of this assumed potential for antagonisms between groups, Park contends that it is important
to understand the social makeup of these segregated city areas. Understanding the neighborhood as
a kind of social group, what he seeks to understand about these segregated neighborhoods is what he
would want to know about all social groups (583). His agenda largely focuses on understanding the
social makeup of these neighborhoods.
Furthermore, rather than only using the improved understanding of these groups to propose solutions,
Park rather suggests the need to study the already existing solutions as well. Alongside an improved
understanding social groups, it is important to study the modes of intervention (playgrounds,
u i ipal e e ts i te ded to ele ate the
o al to e of the seg egated populatio s (582) or
sti ulati g a d o t olli g (581) local communities through which we learn about some aspects of
what he considered to be essential human nature. Segregation is therefore not only a means to
describe an urban phenomena tied to race and vocation, but also a normative ill, something to be
3
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
improved, reversed, or otherwise addressed. And because of this normative component, the
implication is that understanding why and how people seek to improve it leads to a better
u de sta di g of hu a
atu e. While e pli itl esse tialist i its la guage, Pa k s app oa h of
questioning urban intervention in this case touches on more contemporary literature about the good
life (Tuan 1986) and the just city (Fainstein 2010). So, understanding segregation is not only about
understanding what kinds of social group formation processes are underway, but also understanding
what the city should be.
The institutional context in which Park drew up this agenda was based in an engaged sociology (Abbott
1999). While generally focused on social processes, it was very much grounded in Chicago – in a
particular time and place. This would impact the way that concepts like the neighborhood as well as
segregation would be researched by social scientists interested in studying the city for several
generations. In defining and addressing a topic like segregation, the questions might pertain to various
issues like poverty or moral transgression, but the main unit of study was the neighborhood. Moreover,
through the overarching assumption of normative ills, an implicit idea about the good city would have
a lasting impact on urban studies.
~
Taking Park as inspiration, a broad review of empirical research on urban China related to various
forms of socio-spatial striation was conducted. The goal was to seek out the predominant types of
research that could be defined as segregation research, as well as the main methods underpinning
this research in order to develop an agenda (analogous to Park) about what kind of research should
be done. The focus was on research being published within the past 20 years, accessible through
academic journals and volumes. It is worth restating that the present study is about research being
done on segregation, and not a comprehensive study of segregation itself.
Although indebted to Mad azo a d a Ke pe s overview of u a so io-spatial seg egatio
i
China (2012), this study focuses more on the research of segregation rather than the various forces
behind segregation. Through the present review, there are two popular approaches that this present
stud does ot take: it does ot p ese t a Weste

inspiration, this report focuses on segregation research as it is being done in urban China.
Secondly, it does not present an overview of the economic/urban transition in China. In addition to
the Weste
lite atu e e ie , the goal of this study is not to provide a history lesson. There is some
divergence among scholars about the function of context. To some extent, it is just about the
intelligibility of the empirical research, but often this context is presented as explanation. The research
becomes a descriptive part of some historical trajectory, or an illustration of one aspect. Because of
the complexity of attempting to present decades of Chinese urban history, scholars have resorted to
intricate diagrams to help aid in this. Especially in studies about housing segregation in urban China,
some variation of the historical transition such as depicted in Figure 1 is usually included as context
(Huang and Jiang 2009: 938):
5
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
An alternative offering of a similar story by Li and Wu (2006: 700):
Given the plethora of introductions o Chi a s u a t a sfo
atio available by scholars like Fulong
Wu, Shenjing He, George C.S. Lin, Lawrence Ma and others, rather than again providing historical
context for the various transitions characterizing the changing urban landscape in China following
1949, this study will focus more on a contemporary view about how segregation research is being
conducted. It therefore favors an epistemological over an ontological approach towards reviewing
segregation.
One of the clear political dimensions behind segregation research in general is that segregation poses
some kind of normative ill. Its problem definition in the research on urban China can be further
circumscribed: it is seen as a problem to the extent that it is reflective of greater macro-level processes
of inequality. Segregation in and of itself is perhaps not necessarily a social ill – it is in its connection

question is figuring out the nature of the social differentiation and whether it is simply polarization
that results in two opposite extremes of isolation, or more complex forms of differentiation between
multiple groups (Wu 2011). Indeed, some researchers situate differentiation alongside segregation as
distinct forms of spatial structure (Jiang and Li 2012: 41). 4 In looking at the semantic use of
diffe e tiatio , it is i a d of itself ot e essa il

Still, the empirical research on urban China more often than not retains an implicit affinity to Pa k s
agenda on segregation as reflective of social processes that require intervention. Indeed, perhaps one
commonality in the agenda set out by Park in his essay 100 years ago, and much of the empirical work
on urban China of the past 20 years is the lack of a clear problem definition. Why is segregation an
issue requiring research, and in need of remedy? How exactly is it tied to resources, poverty and
inequality? Park relied on the potential conflict between different groups, but left unexplored the
context in which these groups come to be. In this way, the shallow analysis of segregation as a problem
continues in the empirical research on urban China.
Contemporaries dealing with various forms of socio-spatial striation in China have taken the view that
segregation or differentiation is connected to processes that represent something undesirable or
unjust, and that its various forms should be critically investigated, not dismissed as an inevitable
outcome. For instance, in discussing gated communities, Pow argues that it is neither an inevitable
transplantation of western neoliberalism, nor a natural element of traditional Chinese culture/cities:
To explain away the modern gating phenomenon in contemporary Chinese cities
as the product of immutable cultural tradition or social norm is clearly to ignore

This sentiment is echoed to some extent a few years later again by Shenjing He in her discussion of
enclaves (2013), which cannot be explained away as part of a universal phenomenon of some common
condition. Ho e e , Po

Research on urban China involves some implicit understanding that segregation serves as a reflection
of new or growing forms of resource disparity and social differentiation, especially as it is connected
to residential differentiation (See e.g. Xie and Jiang 2011; Jiang and Li 2012; Cf. See Annex A and
reference list). It is based on a recognition that neighborhood forms are changing. Though it might not

The structure of opportunities facing the poor in Chinese cities was for most
created a long time ago, and in a way the reform has the effect of amplifying some
of those structural effects. Urban poverty in China is very much rooted in the
institution of hierarchical resource allocation in the centrally planned era. The
entitlements including rights to housing, location, employment, and welfare
services inherited from the prereform era are the new starting line from which the
unequalising tendencies of market-based exchange (and market-shaped cities) will
grow. (2010: 149-150)
8
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
Indeed, the starting point for understanding segregation in urban China is often based in a structural
analysis of larger processes rather than based in the social groups that define a neighborhood. If
segregation is evidenced through indicators along lines of class, ethnicity, citizenship status,
work/sector/labor, then it is often through the discussion of the macro-level changes that have an
impact on economic class, migration, legal hukou reform or the transition economy. If segregation is
evidenced in the built environment through the materiality of buildings, walls and infrastructures,
the it se es as a efle tio of the so ial g oup fo
atio s o a
a o le el. U like Pa k s age da to
understand the nature of the population and investigate its permanence/stability and modes of social
mobility to establish both history and trajectory (583), the research on urban China is (to grossly
overgeneralize) less concerned about the agencies of these group members.5
There is a general concern about poverty, inequality and basic access to housing and services for
various social groups in urban China. Rather than the focus on social conflict as the reason to
understand the different social groups/neighborhoods, segregation research in China appears to be
based on a e e ge t idea a out the just it . Pa k s assess e t that stud ing urban interventions
as a means to understand this begins to serve as inspiration for how this area of research could be
expanded. Indeed, research about segregation in China can prove a rich site of theorization for what
might constitute a good city.
2. Modes of segregation research in urban China
Objects and topics
Segregation as an analytical concept encompasses a wide scope of applications, from division of labor
to gender segregation. The purpose of this section is to delineate the dominant modes of segregation
research related to neighborhoods in urban China. This might include both residential and nonresidential modes of neighborhood differentiation or spatial divergence and integrates research on
neighborhoods or urban space ot e pli itl utilizi g seg egatio
as a o ept. Fo the p ese t
purposes, these modes of research will be integrated under seg egatio
spaces of lived experience. In Madrazo a d a Ke pe s
as defined by separated

processes of social differentiation and the resulting unequal distribution of population groups across
5
To contradict this general claim, see Wu, et al (2002) in which they argue the urban residential differentiation
is the result of the interweaving impact of both the spatialization of social or class differentiation as well as the
changes in individual residential behavior.

CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
space (2012: 159). What forms of neighborhood segregation are being researched and how are they
being empirically substantiated?
In reviewing the modes of segregation research, they are clustered here along material, legal and
morphological forms. The material and legal research are grouped together because they provide
starting points for understanding the sources and characteristics of segregation. The segregation
research that is more morphological in nature offers interpretations for the consequences of
segregation for urban space. While not comprehensive, and certainly overlapping, this structure is
presented as one mode of scoping out the dominant modes of segregation research in urban China.
Material
As defined by the built environment, and predominantly through residential construction, gated
communities and infrastructure development, this mode of segregation research largely focuses on
the emergent middle classes or the extremely wealthy, though new-built environments for
displacement of urban residents deserves some attention. The clear differentiation of these forms of
material seg egatio

itadel i A e i a
la k ghetto the i
ig a t
ities that were based on differences of ethnicity and class
(Marcuse 1997). The following attempts to carefully differentiate, the mode of segregation as well as
the material nature of this segregation research.
Though somewhat less prominent in the literature, the displacement of residents in urban China
coincides with new residential constructions, often built on the urban periphery for middle- and lowincome residents as compensation (Feng and Long 2006; Shin 2015). These residential areas for the
displaced have been researched in terms of their governance, planning, services and environment,
often concluding that they are constructed without adequate access to basic public services like
schools (Wang 2013; Chen and Zhang 2015). The resettlement of these income groups is further
polarizing insofar as they are living in higher density housing with a more homogenous residential
makeup. Public services become especially important in these peripheral settlekejts because of the
high alls a d i o
i do s
ha a te izi g these eside tial a eas Che a d )ha g
:
. Of
course this is also reflective of public housing developments more generally in China, which are mostly
newly constructed buildings built in specific urban areas that therefore serve to increase the spatial
concentration of low-income residents (Jiao 2007).
For the most part, the built environment research focuses on the wealthy. It is important to note,
however, that the connotations of the gated community in urban China are distinct from the literature
from elsewhere, which focuses on the gated community as an isolationist, bunkered and securityfocused structure (See e.g. Caldeira 2001; Juergens and Gnad 2002; Atkinson 2006). This research is
10
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
based on empirical material from a diversity of cities in the U.S., Latin America and Africa, and often
considers issues of safety under a critical light, in terms of its impact on protecting wealthy resources
or criminalizing the poor.
Investigations into the material structures in urban China construe the built environment as a
reflection of social group differentiation (Huang 2006), which is itself in flux, having dramatically
changed over time (Pow 2009). When focused on the gated community or residential construction,
much of the research is about their manifestation and how they come to be. For instance, the aesthetic
do u e tatio of the
ag ifi e t gate serves as a means of packaging and branding specific
aesthetic, material forms (Wu 2010). Most of this work focuses on the question of why they exist,
which can be grouped around supply side and demand side explanations.
Supply side explanations about the built environment tend to focus on the privatization of housing
and simultaneous tax reform forcing the commercialization of land as the only means of revenues for
local governments to meet demands of social provision (Liu and Lin 2014), the transition away from
the danwei system (Huang 2005), representing larger macroeconomic shifts and the consequences of
a transition economy (Wu 2004a). These often cite changing policies and market influences, which are
intertwined in terms of state involvement in land commodification and real estate development
(Wang and Murie 2000; Wu 2004c; Li and Wu 2006b; He and Wu 2007; Huang and Jiang 2009; He et
al., 2010a, 2010b). For example, the commodification of land areas on the periphery by the state has
had a direct impact on housing construction and suburbanization (Zhou and Ma 2000).
Demand side explanations often begin with the emergence of the new choices available that came
with the commodification of housing (See e.g. Huang and Clark 2002) as well as differences of income
and lifestyle that are reflected in housing choice (Liu and Li 2009). The dismantling of danwei/workunit living with the emergence of market-based housing has led to a great deal of interest in the
behaviors of housing or residential choices. These preference and demand-based explanations
coincide sometimes with the study of an emergent middle class (Zhang 2010) and demography-based
analyses of life course and mobility (See e.g. Li 2004). These studies deal far more with the positions,
tastes and purchasing power of new social groups (Hu and Kaplan 2001; Wu 2003, 2004c; Wang and
Lau 2009). The symbolic value of certain neighborhoods, like gated areas, increasingly seems to
outweigh functional characteristics for newly affluent (Pow 2007; Wang and Lau 2009).
The materiality of the built environment is therefore connected in these explanations with the
commodification of housing as well as the emergence of new social and economic groups. The
functional aspects of these environments are enhanced through the exclusive provision of social
services and public facilities (Liu and Li 2009). Indeed, commodity housing estates like xiaoqu
11
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
increasingly serve to supplement the provision of services from infrastructural support like motorway
exits and bridges to social services like schools and hospitals (Wu 2005). The built environment goes
beyond utility, however, representing new forms of symbolic value.
Legal
The legal mode of segregation research predominantly relies on two interrelated areas of regulation:
urban citizenship and real estate, connected to the supply-side argument in policy reform above. In
terms of urban citizenship, the body of literature on hukou, hukou reform, and migrants in general
has resulted in a body of work that holds the hukou responsible for segregation patterns and a
fragmented urban experience of what is commonly known as the floati g populatio
(Fan 2002; Ma
2002; Liang and Ma 2004; Li and Wu 2006a).
These scholars have focused on segregation as an outcome of the
…i e ualities ased o
eside e status. Chi a s s ste
of household egist atio
(or hukou) and related policies designed to restrain population movement have
become well known for their potential to divide the population into a favored
sector with full citizenship rights (people with urban registration in the city where
they live) and a marginal sector with fewer and more transient rights (especially
people with rural registration from a different province) (Logan et al 2009: 914915).
Predominantly, this implies unequal access to housing, which is more restrictive for rural migrants
without hukou. Some literature implies that the hukou factors as much as cost in terms of access to
housing in urban China (Ma and Xiang 1998; Gu and Shen 2003; Fan and Taubmann 2008). Usually this
o k is fo used o
ig a t as the o je t of stud o so ial g oup esulti g from this legal status.
Che s stud applies a o e diffe e tiated o pa ati e a al sis of populatio g oups a d a gues that
people with hukou often do not reside in their hukou address or city of registration; segregation
research should therefore look at the degree of permanency of those with and without hukou as this
is more reflective of the actual spatial distribution of residents (2014). In other words, data based
purely on hukou is an inadequate reflection of who is actually there; it is more valuable to investigate
the permanent residents (with and without hukou) to understand the experience of segregation.6 But
6
The problem, however, is that the data on permanent population is aggregated at the city scale, and not
differentiated by districts, making the statistical analysis of these differentiated groups even more difficult. More
on this in the following methodology section.
12
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
a closer look at the literature will reveal an even more differentiated approach towards researching
this segregation experience.
For instance, much of the research focuses on the result of these barriers to renting or public housing.
This esea h e te s o
informal (Li and Wu 2013) or illegal housing settlements (Tang and Chung
2002) often clustered together. Generally considered a temporary solution or transition housing,
these settlements are a necessity for people without hukou (Song, Zenou and Ding 2008). These
studies of rural migrants provide evidence that without hukou, they a e u a le to a ess the u a
housi g
a ket a d must rely on informal settlements (ibid.)
Yet the
ig a t e o passes a u
ig a t a d the fo eig
e of diffe e t ki ds of statuses, i ludi g the
e ge e atio
ig a t. The e generation migrant holds a legal working status, higher
education levels than other rural migrants and are seeking to permanently settle in the city (Liu, Li and
Breitung 2011). While they still struggle with housing access, which results in them living in clustered
residential areas, their experience is marked by a different economic status.
Foreigners in Chinese cities generally do not suffer from the hukou registration barrier. Rather, foreign
residents are limited by building and commercializing permits whereby only certain areas or
properties can be sold to foreigners, resulting in foreign gated communities Wu and Webber 2004).
Beyond the gated community restricted by building and commercializing regulation, however, foreign
ethnic enclaves have emerged in the newly commodified rental market in many Chinese cities (Kim
2003; Zhang 2008; Li et al 2009).
It is often implied that the de-regulation or commodification of these markets has resulted in new
foreign residential areas. These legal starting points have provided some inspiration for those
researching questions of belonging (Li and Wu 2013), ideas of home and this is further differentiates
the spatial segregation in temporal terms. For instance, the new generation of migrants who seek to
more permanently relocate to the city is contrasted with the older generation which is more seasonal
(ie. Yue, et al 2009).
13
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
These studies of migration-related forms of segregation are distinct from ethnic enclaves. Though far
less research has been conducted here, the approach towards studying these forms of segregation
also focuses on governance structures (Wang et al. 2002 . Fo i sta e, Wa g et. al. s comparative
study of Muslim Hui neighborhoods shows how different structural factors like administrative
jurisdiction within the same city can result in different outcomes. The ethnic enclave as a form is not
necessarily a victim of urban expansion, if the administrative jurisdiction of these areas are able to
advocate on their behalf. Their conclusions suggest the persistent connection between governance
and form.
Morphological
The conceptualization of enclaves, villages and suburbs, often offers interpretations of the greater
spatial significance of materiality and legal structures. This work renders the neighborhood as a
significant scale for the Chinese context, beginning to typologize and differentiate areas within the
city. The phenomena of these forms are uniquely related to the city. Related to the hukou-based work
on rural migrants, informal or illegal settlements, the migrant enclave is broadly typologized often in
relation to literature on ethnic communities in other contexts (from Ma and Xiang 1998 to Fan and
Taubmann 2008). Enclave urbanism in China (Douglass, Wissink and van Kempen 2012; He 2013) and
Chinese suburbanization (e.g. Zhou and Ma 2000; Zhang 2000; Wu and Cui 1999; Feng et al. 2008)
further contextualize the emergence of socio-spatial segregation within greater trajectories of urban
change. The empirical-theoretical work of these studies begin to extrapolate from research in urban
China, drawing out insights for urbanism and urban theory more generally.
Some of these lessons are founded in the scalar dimension of researching the connection between
segregation and poverty. For instance, in establishing the spatialization or clustering of poverty, many
researchers have pointed towards the limitations of aggregate national data:
There is a significant discrepancy in surveyed and official poverty rates due to the
different populations being surveyed: the general population versus specific social
groups. Clearly, the general statistics hide clusters of poverty and there is a need
to examine the poverty experience of particular vulnerable social groups (Wu, He
and Webster 2010: 135).
In other words, aggregate poverty rates at the national level fail to account for variance within cities
and between neighborhoods and groups (See also Li and Wu 2006a). Segregation research, because it
focuses on the sub-urban scale, helps to account for a more nuanced understanding of how the
experience of poverty is actually getting worse for some groups, concentrated in some areas.
14
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
Furthermore, studies of urban villages reveal how they function as highly differentiated spaces, with
different statuses and roles within them (He et al 2010a). They are not a coherent bubble.
Understanding segregation can help address how – while total poverty rates may be decreasing –
some groups are disproportionately living in poverty. The investigations of issues like segregation at
sub-urban scale help to uncover the differentiated drivers and spatializations of poverty (He et al
2010b). Thus, segregation research offers the potential for a more differentiated, less conflated view
about the trajectory of Chinese economic development.
Methodologies/research design
While hardly comprehensive, the main issues related to segregation research methodology are
clustered here around data collection, boundary making and categories of difference. The way that
researchers define these aspects is critically important to their findings, and, in turn, interpretations
of segregation in urban China.
Data collection
U like the elia e o a atio al e sus i the U.“. a d fo Pa k s asis of i estigatio i Chi ago, a
lack of comparable national census in China greatly affects the kind of research being done about the
Chinese cities. There have been six national population census surveys since the 1980s, which serve
some of the studies as a source of data for demographic and social structures (Wu, et. al. 2014: 111).
However, as noted above with the studies of poverty, these population censuses are not spatialialized
(beyond the provincial differentiation), but aggregated. The national census data furthermore is based
on permanent population (常住人口) as established by residents with hukou that live at their assigned
hukou address, and residents without hukou who have lived there for more than half a year. In order
to conduct empirical analyses connected to spatiality, differentiated hukou status and demographic
information, therefore, researchers must integrate data from the sub-district (街道) which includes
information about education levels, employment, age, etc. as well as the neighborhood level data (居
委 会 ) from the national census, which only provides the hukou information (Chen 2014). 7 The
complexity of integrating multiple data sets might be in part why there is almost no segregation
research based on education level, employment and age (Chen and Hao 2014).
Indeed, the availability of census data available at the city level for some cities has resulted in
extrapolations on issues like suburbanization in Beijing (Feng, Zhou and Wu 2010) or residential
7
The Six National Census statistics includes 230 streets and 5432 village committees, which is often integrated
with other statistics from particular provinces, or, in this case, cities like Shanghai.
15
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
mobility and housing choices (Li 2004) To supplement the available government census information,
many researchers conduct smaller-scale surveys for particular cities or city areas (See e.g. Wang (2005)
in the cities Chongqing and Shenyang; Liu and Wu (2006a; 2006b) in Nanjing; and Wu (2007) on a
neighborhood of the city of Nanjing, Yip on Shanghai (2012)).
In some cases, there are more cities included in a survey to collect data on particular issues like poverty
(See e.g. Wu, He and Webster 2010 who included 6 cities across different regions) in order to
extrapolate, or to make a generalizable statement a out Chi ese ities. In general, there is a
tendency to want to o e so e idea of s ope i o de to ake studies ep ese tati e. Fo e a ple,
Yip s
luste ed st atified sa pli g st ateg i luded both inner city and rural districts, but random
sampling was employed for the selection of households for the survey (2012: 224).
An additional challenge to the data collection is that these census and survey-based studies rely on
official registration, availability or willingness of respondents for the surveys. For instance,
ep ese tatio of the a do l sa pled households i Yip s
study of gated communities
remained biased because many of the high-end gated households did not want to be interviewed. This
poses a general challenge for doing qualitative empirical research, which relies on informants. Li and
Wu s
i
stud additio ally illustrates the difficulty of conducting surveys among migrant groups
de elopi g ou t ies. The e ho the se ti e t that atio al-level data on migrants and poverty
fails to disaggregate at other scales.
Survey data being used in this research serves predominantly to establish residential forms of
segregation. Whether this is the availability of the data or the research design – it results in an
attention bias towards residency as the predominant basis for segregation. Other experiences of
segregation connected to school and work tend to be included insofar as they are related to distances
or access from certain residential areas.
One aspect almost completely missing in much of the empirical work that has been reviewed is the
individual experience of segregation (Wong and Shaw 2011). This takes a different approach towards
defining segregation, shifting from a proposed objective identification of segregation towards the
experience of it at the individual level. For research on urban China, the basis for defining segregation
seems to remain tied to survey data. Rather than individual experience, survey methodologies that
seek to i o po ate e pe ie e fo us o aspe ts like

(Cf. Li and Wu 2013; Du and Li 2010; Song, Zenou and Ding 2008).

In important ways, these studies seeking out the migrant experience have challenged assumptions
about informal settlements/villages by providing some insights into the experience of these
seg egated spa es. Fo i sta e, )ha g a d Wu s stud illust ates ho
ig a ts a e ot necessarily

dissatisfaction (2013). These studies suggest that it is the subjective experience of exclusion, not
17
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
necessarily the conditions, that define dissatisfaction. In the accompanying scoping report on
associations and sociability, this topic will be revisited, considering the distinction between when
these spatializations represent a migrant enclave vs. migrant community.
Boundary-making
The issue of clearly defined localities is critical for researching segregation. Wu, et. al. contend that
the
ai
halle ge of Chi a s atio al e sus data, despite its i p o e e ts i detail o e ti e, is
the lack of spatial information on community boundaries (2014: 111). This forces researchers to do
much of the work in terms of determining borders and integrating quantitative data with spatial
categories. Fo i sta e, Fe g, )hou a d Wu s Table
(2010: 91) sets the zones that would indicate
suburbanization (highlighted). That these categorizations seem self-evident is problematized in other
studies like Yip (2012) where a di hoto ized o eptio of gated/u gated is e de ed i appli a le
(232).
Feng et. al. supplement this data with information differentiating the type of residential areas (villas,
affordable housing), as well as the development of infrastructure and amenities (roads and shopping
centers), as well as the suburbanization of industry and retail (2010). They connect this to consumer
data on home and car ownership-thus, drawing out some causal relationships between retail following
18
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
and consumer. But the rest is more relational and less causal. For instance, to what extent
suburbanization is state-led, and driven my government interest in land use development, and to what
extent suburbanization is

e ted to the o su e ist oppo tu ities is u lea .
Still, this particular study does an interesting multi-scalar and multi-method analysis of the available
data in making claims about aggregate suburbanization (at the city level), about the different types of
new-built suburbanization (based on buildings and infrastructure) and interpolating from available
consumer data.
Studies that focus on informal settlements have ironically sought out the locations of these
settlements through the formal state apparatus. Consider, for example, the preliminary step for the
randomized, multi-city study that Li and Wu conducted:
Given our sampling approach, developing the list of villages was a critical step and
was carried out with the best resources available. In Beijing and Guangzhou, the
offi ial lists of illages

likely because both cities intend to redevelop urban villages as a priority. For
Shanghai, our survey was co-i ide t
ith the
u i ipal pla
i g u eau s pilot
study. The list of villages was collected from district planning offices (2013: 931).
Though the surveys were conducted in face-to-face interaction, the preliminary step already restricted
the sample to officially recognized, pre-delineated villages.
As a contrasting mode of establishing cartographic boundaries, some scholars have tried to develop a

exercise in theory-building ie. How should we defi e the o ept of e la e ?
As an alternative to these spatial zones that rely on extrapolations from census and survey data or
constructed environments, activity zones offer an alternative (Wong and Shaw 2011; Wong, Li and
Chai 2012). While still spatial, the definition of these spatial boundaries is set by the individual and her
movements through space rather than the officially defined boundaries. These activity spaces deal
with issues of exposure rather than cartographies of difference. This has the benefit of revealing more
about the experience of socio-spatial segregation, and complements other methodologies that
incorporate the administrative jurisdictions. As noted above with studies on migrant enclaves,
governance structures impact the sustainability of both formal and informal settlements.
19
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
Categories of difference
Setting the dimensions of segregations implies that beyond having population data and spatial
boundaries, they also must define categories of difference. This is particularly important as the vast
majority of researchers rely on some variation of questionnaire and regression analysis. Segregation
implies a socio-spatial separation, reliant on ideas about social groups. For researchers in China, these
a al ti al atego ies a e ofte
o o ed f o
esea h o
Weste
ities, alidated th ough othe
Chinese studies that do the same thing, rendering a kind of tautology of segregation characteristics.
For example:
Since Shevky and Bell (1955) proposed the famous three dimensions of
segregation—socioeconomic status, ethnicity and lifestyle-in their studies of
Western cities, similar approaches have been successfully used in non-Western
urban circumstances (Johnston et al., 2007; Li et al., 2010). As socio-economic
differentiation is the principal determinant of residential segregation in Chinese
cities (Wu & Webster, 2010), the following three categories of variables that are
similar to those used for the case study of Guangzhou (Li et al., 2010) are chosen for
this case study: (1) the common feature of demography; (2) occupational
characteristics; and (3) housing. (Wu, et al 2010: 111).
I Wu, et. al. s
study, the variables are clustered along the lines of
o po e ts o t pologies
largely based on previous research. These components are then related statistically to certain
professions or social groups. The interpretation of these social groups, classes, professions is notably
inclined towards placing these results in a social hierarchy:
The census data at sub-district level shows that a high proportion of this type of
housing is utilized as stores, restaurants, and cafés, etc. Hence, it can be inferred
that this component may reveal those communities populated in part by an
emerging entrepreneurial class, which is of higher status than shop and small
business owners. (Ibid: 114).
These studies, largely quantitative, rely on statistical correlation in their design to make an argument
about spatial differentiation. The predominant goal of these boundaries and categories of difference
is to establish a means to measure segregation.
20
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
A large body of work draws statistical correlation between housing types, income, and residential
segregation (See e.g. Yang and Wang 2006; Lu, Chen and Yu 2010; Chen 2014). While Yang and Wang
(2006) argue for a causal relationship, that economic factors related to housing prices cause social
differentiation, Lu, et. al. (2010) offer a multitude of indicators that affect housing sales price that are
not just economic. To provide evidence for this, they conducted surveys and interviews to establish
additional indicators on quality, eco-environment, overall planning, service and culture (ibid). More

income as indicators for spatial distribution of difference (Jiang and Feng 2015). This is based on the
assumption that affordability determines housing or neighborhood choices (Wu and Cui 1999; Lu,
Chen and Yu 2010). In these studies, segregation is determined by the spatial distribution of different
income groups (Huang 2006; Yang 2006). Income groups are availa le i

Questionnaire-based methods rely on mostly demographic characteristics and self-reporting to

. Yet the subjective interpretation
placing these groups in a hierarchy (ie. O e lass ei g of highe status tha a othe by Wu, et. al.
2010) is left unexamined. In these research designs, the social groups, their differences and even the
relationships between different groups, are presented as self-evident. Perhaps in this way, the
underlying, implicit normative bent of segregation research in urban China is greatly sympathetic to
Pa k s deli eatio s of

Some studies leave behind the nature of difference and have noted processes of differentiation or

neighborhoods is perhaps one of the more interesting contributions to the literature. It is possible
only given their comparative research design, which allowed them to conclude that some
neighborhoods are becoming more mixed –perhaps the opposite of segregation.
21
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
Another durable approach towards studying processes of differentiation is the multigroup isolation
index introduced by Wong (1998) and expanded by Chen (2014). This look at spatial distribution and
concentrations of different groups to investigate the degrees to which different groups are isolated
fo
othe s. Though Wo g s i de is ased o older segregation research methods (Morgan 1975;
Sakoda 1981), the adaptation of the isolation index for a complex setting also enables researchers to
move beyond the defining the categories of difference towards methods for measuring differentiation.
3. Key research areas
There is no shortage of research being done on segregation in urban China (See Annex). Based on this
cursory view of the types of research and the methodologies being employed, and keeping in mind
Park as inspiration, here are some potential research areas:
A continuation of survey-based comparative research. While this is the predominant mode of
research, it is also evident in the cursory review of that cities have undergone tremendous
changes in their socio-spatial differentiation between the studies of the early 2000s and 2010s.
It seems that comparative studies within cities (especially between different administrative
jurisdictions) seem to have generated a number of novel insights into the spatialization of
difference (Cf. Fan 2002; Li and Wu 2006a).
What is the makeup of these variously administered settlements, gated areas
and how has the composition changed over time? Beyond the snapshot
survey of current residents, what generation of income liquidity is living in
these areas? How can life course research (Li 2004) also reveal changing
mores about living statuses (ie. Living alone)
How have regulatory reforms in hukou, real estate, property development,
property tax, construction, conservation/environment, public housing
impacted different areas and groups differently?
How does comparative research on segregation in different areas within the
city, different cities offer grounded theorizations about segregation? How
does this relate to (contradict, validate, supplement) the enormous body of
empirical research based on single cases?
22
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
Keeping with the theme of temporality, research on segregation as a process to be
investigated through longitudinal approaches would help to document socio-spatial change
over time. Currently, change is being documented largely through self-reporting in the various
surveys and questionnaires. Much of the work that follows transition (commodification of the
housing market) is now considerably outdated. Moreover, it would be valuable to investigate
neighborhood stability (a theme from Park); is it easy to enter and exit?
o
For instance, that migrant groups and groups without hukou are most vulnerable to
living in urban poverty is often taken for granted in the research. What remains
unclear is how this changes over time. Beyond taking account of hukou reform, how
do the concentrated areas where these groups live change over time? Some studies
have proposed that they offer accessible, affordable housing where the state or the
market fails them (Song, Denou and Ding 2008). Researching the movement of
residents within the city (similar to the work on activity space) offers a mode to also
investigate social mobility. Indeed, segregation research that take segregation as
process as opposed to status would offer a means to
Have informal settlements served as a transition to formal, more durable,
more secure, higher quality housing arrangements? Or have informal
settlements themselves become more institutionalized over time?
How have perceptions of exclusion or belonging changed over time, among
different groups, and what are the factors that influence these changes?
o
Informal settlement is generally construed as a mode of segregation distinct from the
formalized, centralized, integrated yet gated communities. The informal/illegal aspect
of urban villages in China is often connected to their migrant characteristic, but there
are missing bridges between neighborhood composition and the morphological forms
evident in the built environment, the spatial ordering of center-periphery and the
development of infrastructure. The research on the spatialization of poverty indicates
that segregation can be a means to identify the intensification of certain experiences
not evidenced at other (national, provincial, city) scales.
What processes of economic, social or cultural marginalization or re-centering
parallel processes of segregation?
How is the trajectory of marginalization connected to cases of eviction,
displacement or large scale demolition?
23
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
Are there lasting, material consequences of settlements that were temporary
(ie in the infrastructure?) how does the experience of marginality shape the
city?
As much of the existing segregation research is objectivist in nature, it would be valuable to
consider the various interests, agencies and resources of the social groups being associated
with these socio-spatial differentiations. Currently, the social groups exist at level of
a st a tio of a e e ge t
lass, but what this means remains unclear –not only in
economic terms, but also social. The differentiation of social groups, like the concept of class,
is likely an issue for sociology in China more broadly. Segregation could be a topic through
which to investigate the construction of different social groups. It would require a qualitative,
ethnographic methodology that does not pre-determine the categories of difference.
Beyond demographic makeup, what are the meaningful bonds that serve to
delineate socio-spatial groups? What kinds of activities establish these
relationships?
How can experiences of discontent help foster feelings of solidarity (Yip 2012)?
What are the unexpected sources for feelings of group belonging?
One of the assumptions Park makes about segregation relates to social conflict between social
groups. When dealing with subjective positions, the research so far seems to focus on
questions of satisfaction. There is literature on social control as it relates to the enclaves and
gated communities – under what assumptions about social strife do these forms of control
operate?
Is there social conflict? There seems to be no research on this – is it because
there is no conflict, or is it somehow rendered invisible? Between which
interests/groups?
Theorization is desperately needed about what constitutes the good city in China. Some
isio a out the good it
is implicit in most of the research. Whether it is about gated
communities or migrant enclaves, there exists an assumption that even though it is not the
sa e ki d of o
ati e ill as i othe o te ts, it is ot desi a le.
Following in Park’s footsteps, are there urban interventions to investigate,
through which to develop an understanding of what a good city constitutes?
Are there policy interventions at the neighborhood level to explicitly counter
24
CS100 Scoping Report: Segregation
segregation? Can policies focused on specific social groups like parents or the
elderly be construed as urban policies? At a basic level: what would an anti
segregation policy be?
What are the official justifications behind policy reforms for hukou, housing,
etc.?
4. Remarks
As a cursory overview about the existing research on segregation in urban China, this report should
serve as a working paper and reflective analysis for researchers in the field. While it has attempted to
integrate literature in both English and Chinese language publications, the main structure of the report
is biased towards the English-language publications. This bias is mediated, however, as most of the
authors cited have published in both languages. No claims are made about categorical differences
between the nature of the research conducted in different languages, published in different venues,
or originating from different institutions or disciplines, though an STS-based study of this would surely
be fruitful.
