Segregation has been one of the most persistent features of urban life and, accordingly, one of the main subjects of enquiry in urban studies.

Dynamic segregation refers to the phenomenon where individuals within a group or society voluntarily separate or group themselves based on various characteristics such as race, gender, socio-economic status, or religion. This can occur in various settings such as schools, neighborhoods, workplaces, or social events.

the spatial behaviour of different social groups as networks of movement that constitute
opportunities for co-presence.  


Dynamic segregation can be influenced by personal preferences, cultural norms, prejudices, or lack of opportunities for integration. It can have both positive and negative impacts, as it can create a sense of belonging and community for some individuals while also perpetuating stereotypes, discrimination, and inequality.

Efforts to address dynamic segregation may involve promoting diversity and inclusion, creating opportunities for social mixing, challenging stereotypes and biases, and fostering a sense of unity and commonality among different groups. By actively working to break down barriers and increase interactions between diverse individuals, dynamic segregation can be reduced and a more inclusive society can be achieved.

Segregation has been one of the most persistent features of urban life and, accordingly, one of the main subjects of enquiry in urban studies. Stemming from a tradition that can be traced back to the Chicago School in the early twentieth century, social segregation has been seen as the natural consequence of the social division of space. Such naturalized understanding of segregation as ‘territorial segregation’ takes space as a surrogate for social distance.

Netto et al. (1999; 2001; 2015, 2018) proposed a shift in the focus from the static segregation of places–– where social distance is assumed rather than fully explained––to how social segregation is experienced and reproduced through embodied urban trajectories. They accomplished this by mapping the spatial behaviour of different social groups as networks of movement that constitute opportunities for co-presence.

This alternative view recasts the original idea of segregation as ‘restrictions on interaction’ by concentrating on the spatiality of segregation potentially active in the circumstances of social contact and encounters in the city. This approach to segregation as a subtle process that operates ultimately through trajectories of the body is illustrated by empirical studies in Brazilian cities (Netto et al. 2015; 2018).
