Sonia Arbaci is Associate Professor at the University College, London. She is interested in international comparative studies from a variety of disciplines and perspectives, with a particular attention to (Southern) European cities. Her research foci on ethnic residential segregation and the role of the state in the production of inequality sit between a broader understanding of the various European housing systems and welfare regimes, and the impact of  urban policies and regeneration programmes in relation to mechanisms of redistribution and of marginalisation. Her interest in urban processes ranges from the production of the built environment to urban and social changes (e.g. gentrification, peripheralisation, etc.), and with a critical look at policies for social and tenure mixing, de-segregation, and lately on financialisation of social housing.
