?In this Advanced Introduction, Sako Musterd offers a broad and incisive overview of the now voluminous literature on urban segregation. Musterd successfully navigates through the often contentious explanations for segregation, and offers new thinking about segregation and the links to spatial inequality. In an era when large scale immigration is changing the inner cities, in Europe and the US, it is a timely review of processes which are fundamental forces in urban change.?
