The focus of this bibliography is on the way in which Western cities (i.e.,generally the OECD countries) are internally divided (or partitioned) on the basis of socio-economic and ethno-cultural status, and the reasons why these divisions exist and the ways in which they are changing. The focus is:

• the socio-economic and spatial impacts of the gentrification and related neighbourhood change processes
• the impact of macro level contexts such as globalization and neoliberal policies on urban outcomes and neighbourhoods;
• changes in the nature, extent and impact of discrimination and segregation oncities and neighbourhoods; and
• the changing location of wealthy and poor neighbourhoods, and the changing nature and extent of income inequality and income polarization within and among neighbourhoods in a city.

This bibliography is partially annotated with the original summaries (abstracts) as provided by the author or publisher. It was complied as part of the Neighbourhood Change Community University Reseach Alliance. Though large, by searching with keywords, this bibliography should help researchers build upon the existing literature.
