Abstract/OtherAbstract:
"The paper explores the mediating role of [the] property market in generating residential segregation [in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil].... It is shown that the market for apartments is still basically high-income oriented (in contrast with the situation in cities of the developed countries) and that the rapid (faster than family mobility) spatial deconcentration of this market...has played an important role in expelling...the poor, albeit through indirect means, from the areas subjected more intensively to new property developments."
