“…Several researchers have already argued that this is true (Darden and Kamel 2000;Hulchanski 1993;Murdie 1994;Ornstein 2000), and these results lend some support to this for residential crowding. Excellent research on the mechanisms that stratify in the housing market already exists (Danso and Grant 2000;Hiebert and Wyly 2006;Leloup and Zhu 2006;Mendez et al 2006), but clearly there is room for more of this work.…”

“…In addition, some had been confronted with discrimination when they looked for housing, an experience familiar to visible minorities in Montreal (c.f. Leloup and Zhu, 2006;Rose and Charette, 2014). As will be discussed below, immigrant families drew on urban green spaces to reduce physiological and relational stress caused by poor housing conditions.…”

In this article, we draw on a 2012 Montreal-based study that examined the embodied, every day practices of immigrant children and families in the context of urban greenspaces such as parks, fields, backyards, streetscapes, gardens, forests and rivers. Results suggest that activities in the natural environment serve as a protective factor in the health and well-being of this population, providing emotional and physical nourishment in the face of adversity. Using the Social Determinants of Health model adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO, 1998), we analyze how participants accessed urban nature to minimize the effects of inadequate housing, to strengthen social cohesion and reduce emotional stress. We conclude with a discussion supporting the inclusion of the natural environment in the Social Determinants of Health Model.

“…Plusieurs études ont ainsi montré que même lorsqu'ils élevaient leur niveau socioéconomique, les ménages noirs continuaient à être plus ségrégués et isolés dans l'espace résidentiel (Massey et Denton ; Darden et Kamel ). La même observation a pu être faite dans des contextes moins ségrégués et à propos d'autres groupes minoritaires (Kesteloot ; Deurloo et Musterd ; Myles et Hou ; Leloup et Zhu ). Cette tendance est en partie attribuable à la préférence qu'ont les ménages majoritaires à résider dans des quartiers plus homogènes (Charles ) et où ils peuvent disposer d'un meilleur environnement urbain (pour une explicitation du modèle général, voir van Duijn et Rouwendal ).…”

The recent increase in ethno‐cultural diversity has raised numerous questions in countries of immigration. One of them focuses on the processes and mechanisms that lead to the creation of integrated or multiethnic neighbourhoods. To address it, various models were elaborated to explain the phenomenon. We will first recall the main features of these various models. Afterward, we test the hypothesis proposed by Germain and Poirier to explain the evolution of ethno‐cultural diversity in Montreal. This hypothesis supposes that it has evolved in a context where fluidity was central. Our aim is to propose an empirical test of this hypothesis using several methods (i.e., spatial analysis tools, regression model, and structural equation modeling). The results confirm the “fluidity” hypothesis, even if they also stress a stratification process between the various minority groups linked to neighbourhood socio‐demographic characteristics.
