Segregation in the City of Boston ins decreasing, but the significant decline in the white population there and in other cities that have seen rapid minority growth are troubling. As Boston becomes more multi-ethnic, cooperation between all racial and ethnic groups will become more critical.publicpopulation growthmajority-minorityRace, Place, and Opportunity: Racial Change and Segregation in the Boston Metropolitan Area: 1990-2000articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1600q0cn2016-10-25T20:56:10Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1600q0cnMcArdle, Nancyauthor2002-01-01The future of the Chicago area is inexorably linked to the well-being of its minority populations, most strongly in the cities and inner-suburbs, but increasingly throughout the region.

The issues are national in scope, but in Boston we see especially clearly how limited are the impacts of policies that are only implemented within city boundaries. Blacks and Hispanics are unusually concentrated in the City of Boston and a handful of older outlying towns and cities, while residential suburbs where most whites live hardly share in the growing ethnic and racial diversity of the region.Also available at http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edupubliccivil rights projectBostonmetro and regional inequalitySegregation in Neighborhoods and Schools: Impacts on Minority Children in the Boston Regionarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8rz7x3mt2013-02-26T23:27:37Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8rz7x3mtMcArdle, Nancyauthor2003-12-01Metropolitan Boston needs a serious discussion about racial equity. The region is in the midst of a period of rapid racial change but there is a widespread perception that either nothing needs to be done explicitly about race, or nothing can be done because of failures in the city of Boston in the past.

In the Boston NECTA during the 2000-2002 period, 70% of home-purchase lending was done by out-of-state banks or by mortgage companies not affiliated with Massachusetts banks. These lenders, not covered by CRA, perform significantly worse than covered lenders in lending to borrowers and neighborhoods of color. Pending Massachusetts legislation would bring the state’s CRA into line with the transformed nature of the mortgage lending industry by imposing CRA-type obligations and evaluations on all types of mortgage lenders. This could make a significant contribution to reducing the current racial/ethnic disparities in mortgage lending that are documented in this paper.Also available at http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edupublicthe civil rights projectBostonmetro and regional inequalityThe Color of Money in Greater Boston: Patterns of Mortgage Lending and Residential Segregation at the Beginning of the New Centuryarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2qg7c8x12013-02-26T23:14:54Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2qg7c8x1Lee, Chungmeiauthor2004-04-01Boston’s disastrous failure to achieve peaceful desegregation of its schools three decades ago, particularly the mob violence at South Boston High School, and the transition of the Boston schools to overwhelmingly white enrollment, are commonly seen as areas why the region need not think about patterns of school segregation--nothing can be done about it.

They face substantial challenges, however, in obtaining employment (especially in faster-growing and higher-paying sectors), in accessing locations of rapid job growth, and in earning a livable income. Latinos and blacks face the greatest hurdles, yet certain Asian populations struggle as well—especially those with less education and those working in the shrinking manufacturing sector or low-paying service jobs. Previous work by the Metro Boston Equity Initiative of the Civil Rights Project at Harvard University has examined the related challenges of segregated housing patterns and unequal educational opportunities faced by racial and ethnic minorities in Metro Boston.Also available at http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edupubliccivil rights projectBostonRacial Equity and Opportunity in Metro Boston Job Marketsarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7tt1z99c2013-02-26T23:01:16Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7tt1z99cBerger, Joseph B.authorSmith, Suzanne M.authorCoelen, Stephen P.author2004-04-21The Metro Boston Equity Initiative is devoted to analyzing race relations and racial equity issues not simply in the city of Boston, but across the entire metropolitan region. Although greater Boston still has a large white majority and suburban sectors with very little diversity, immigration of Latinos and Asians is driving the region’s growth, and much of this population increase is taking place well outside of the city limits. Changing patterns of school enrollment provide a good sense of the region’s near-term future.Also available at http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edupubliccivil rights projectBostonmetro and regional inequalityRace and the Metropolitan Origins Of Postsecondary Access to Four Year Colleges: The Case of Greater Bostonarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt73v3s2sr2013-02-26T23:01:12Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/73v3s2srJackson, Tara D., Ph.Dauthor2004-11-01If we truly desire to keep integration on the upswing and to hasten segregation’s descent, we must continue to effectively harness and improve the resources and tools at our disposal—including social science research.In the last quarter of the twentieth century, three of the most important socioeconomic and demographic factors contributing to the decline in residential segregation were the suburbanization of people and jobs, the economic prosperity of the 1990s, and the surge in the number of multiethnic metropolitan areas. These trends started slowly in the 1960s and 1970s, gained momentum in the 1980s, and surpassed most expectations in the 1990s (Frey & Farley 1996; Glaeser & Vigdor 2002; U.S. Bureau of the Census 2003). Still, residential segregation is demonstrably complex and resistant to change. Many cities surely will remain highly segregated (and, in the case of a select few, hypersegregated) for decades to come. Despite the progress that has been made to date, residential segregation remains one of the most vexing social and policy problems facing American society.Also available at http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edupubliccivil rights projectBostonmetro and regional inequalityThe Imprint of Preferences and Racial Attitudes in the 1990s: A Window Into Contemporary Residential Segregation Patterns in the Greater Boston Areaarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt78x669h02013-02-26T22:49:26Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/78x669h0Louie, Josephineauthor2005-04-01Racial discrimination is an ongoing reality in the lives of African Americans and Hispanics in Metro Boston.

It has been the only significant source of funds for building housing for poor families since the l980s. Yet few people know of its existence, fewer understand its complex mechanisms, and there has been virtually no information to answer critical questions about it. What we do know is that LIHTC is a costly program producing much needed affordable housing in one of the nation’s most expensive housing markets, where millions of people cannot afford to pay the cost of adequate housing. Who is it helping? Is it giving the children in these homes a better chance in life? Is it serving all groups in our society fairly? Is it opening up housing across the region’s color lines or is it investing in segregation? These are vital questions to ask, especially now with the collapse of the housing market and the financing freeze stalling new projects. Broadly speaking, is the public investment paying off for those it is supposed to help?Foreward by Gary OrfieldAlso available at http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edupubliccivil rights projectThe Opportunity Illusion: Subsidized Housing and Failing Schools in Californiaarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt32q0438d2013-02-26T22:22:32Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/32q0438dSiegel-Hawley, GenevieveauthorOrfield, Garyauthor2011-03-17CRP's LASANTI Project explores many dimensions of social and economic change and inequality across the huge bi-national urbanized complex, stretching from the northern Los Angeles suburbs down through San Diego to the Tijuana metropolitan area.Also available at http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edupubliccivil rights projectmetro and regional inequalityThe Lasanti Project Descriptionarticlelocal
