Choice of neighbourhoods by mover households in Karachi

Auteur :
AHMAD, N.

Description :
The analysis is based on a socio-economic survey of 6275 households in the city. Permanent income, location-specific income, ethnic composition and the incidence of violence are major determinants of the neighbourhood choice. This choice is driven by different considerations from those in a developed country. In the future there is likely to be ethnic segregation of population by their ethnic background and movement of households toward violence-free areas.
