Abstract
The territorial concentration of the foreign-born population in large cities is determined by the evolution of international migration flows, as well as by the internal demographic and migration dynamics of both native-born and immigrant populations. Using data from 2012 to 2021, this study explores the role of intra-urban migration in the evolution of these areas of concentration in the city of Barcelona. Specifically, it analyses the ten most prevalent immigrant origins and their intra-urban migratory patterns in terms of spatial concentration, as defined through spatial analysis techniques, and how these patterns have evolved over the study period. The results show that, although patterns of immigrant concentration previously varied markedly by origin, they nevertheless converge towards a general trend of deconcentration.
期刊介绍：
Population, Space and Place aims to be the leading English-language research journal in the field of geographical population studies. It intends to: - Inform population researchers of the best theoretical and empirical research on topics related to population, space and place - Promote and further enhance the international standing of population research through the exchange of views on what constitutes best research practice - Facilitate debate on issues of policy relevance and encourage the widest possible discussion and dissemination of the applications of research on populations - Review and evaluate the significance of recent research findings and provide an international platform where researchers can discuss the future course of population research
