We would like to invite you to a public lecture of Prof Tiit Tammaru: A Comparative Study of Socio-Economic Segregation in European Capital Cities: From Segregation to Desegregation?, which will take place on 17 April 14:50 at Albertov and online.
About the lecture
He will present a comparative research on residential segregation in Europe, exploring whether segregation levels continued to rise, have peaked, or show signs of desegregation. He will also focus on how changes in segregation align with shifts in income inequality and occupational structures.ách.Tiit Tammaru
