Drawing on literature from a variety of migration contexts, this chapter investigates the distinction between international and internal migration. We first review the recent research on both forms of migration, before turning to research that attempts to “bridge the gap” between them. Second, we offer an original empirical analysis of both interna...
Feeling connected to others, particularly our intimate partners, is closely tied to physical and mental health. Despite network theories predicting that intimate relationships influence our other social connections, and theories of intimate relationships predicting that connections to others should influence intimate partnerships, these two are rar...
In 1969 Thomas C. Schelling published his paper “Models of Segregation” and in 1971 he published a follow-up paper introducing “Dynamic Models of Segregation”. Schelling's papers developed the theoretical models of interactive dynamics of individual residential choices, resulting in pronounced patterns of residential segregation at the city level. ...

The COVID-19 pandemic is thought to have led to an increase in the percentage of young adults living with their parents, but the relative contributions made by moves into and out of the parental home to this increase are unknown. Also unknown is whether changes in the likelihood of home leaving and returning were concentrated among privileged or di...
Over the past twenty years or so, Mexico City, like most Latin American metropolises, has undergone a dual process of increasing urban sprawl on the one hand, and densification of the city center and inner ring older suburbs (innerburbs) on the other, and has entered a “settlement stage” in which intra-urban residential trajectories are more numero...
The Restrepo area in Bogotá is considered an old urban periphery; although its development began in the 1930s, it is currently located between the pericenter and the current periphery, in a strategic location in relative terms concerning the city. As in other Latin American cities, these areas are territories in transformation with very important r...
Purpose – This paper aims to test two hypotheses related to the supposedly negative impact of rent controlon residential mobility: the mobility of renters is, first, negatively related to how attractive their residentialareas are and, second, relatively high for renters living in properties built after 2005.Design/methodology/approach – This paper ...
Household mobility dynamics are a complex phenomenon due to the multi-faceted human-environment interactions involved. These dynamics are affected by a variety of variables, spanning economic, structural, political and environmental. With respect to this latter aspect, much research has explored the relationship between the development of urban gre...
Cet article explore les potentialités du télétravail, un sujet riche en littérature scientifique depuis les années 1980, qui s’actualise avec sa généralisation forcée en réponse à l'urgence sanitaire causée par le Covid-19. Cette étude analyse l'impact qu’a eu l’habitude de télétravailler sur les mouvements de population dans le contexte singulier ...
This article aims to unravel the determinants of changes in residential satisfaction after a relocation, and in particular the role of commuting conditions in such changes, for cross-border employees working in Luxembourg, a population characterised by a large proportion of long commutes and high car use. Based on a mobility survey (n = 1,960) whic...
