Cities and diversity
I use data from a survey applied to the migrant and autochthonous residents of eighteen ethnically diverse neighborhoods, located in six cities across Europe, to research the relationships between migration-driven ethnic diversity, social cohesion, social capital, and intergroup relations in those (European) cities and neighborhoods.
In a first publication, I show that the residents of these diverse European neighborhoods overall have high levels of trust in their neighbors. In line with previous research, migrants trust their neighbors less than the autochthonous population. And, religiosity matters: Residents claiming a religious affiliation are more trusting of their neighbors than non-religious folks.
