虽然种族多样性传统上是城市的一个特点，但新的多样性空间正在出现。这挑战了我们目前对种族多样性地理的理解，迫使我们考虑更复杂的空间模式和种族群体人口变化的过程。种族多样性，现在在英国当代社会的一个关键特征，是一个公共，政策，政治和学术兴趣的问题; 2011年人口普查提供了一个机会，以更新我们的知识多样性如何增长，以及以何种方式。本文探讨了英格兰和威尔士种族多样性的新地理，绘制了二十多年来不断变化的多样性景观。本文利用1991-2011年一致的地理区域的小区域（病房）的多样性和聚类措施，以及最近十年使用地区级城乡区域分类。有证据表明，族裔多样性正从城市中心向传统上多样性较少的地区扩散。空间混合增加-在此期间，在本群体集群以外的地区，少数民族群体也有所增长。所有族裔群体（白色英国人和少数族裔）在城市化程度较低的地区所占比例的增加，对"白色逃离“多样性的说法提出了挑战。种族多样性的增加显然是当代人口变化的一个重要特征，未来几年很可能会看到人与人之间、地方内部以及新的地方继续混合。版权所有（c）2015约翰威利父子有限公司
While ethnic diversity is traditionally an urban characteristic, new spaces of diversity are emerging. This challenges our current understandings of the geographies of ethnic diversity and forces us to consider the more intricate spatial patterns and processes of ethnic group population change. Ethnic diversity, now a key feature of contemporary society in Britain, is an issue of public, policy, political, and academic interest; the 2011 Census provided an opportunity to update our knowledge of how diversity has grown, and in what ways. This paper explores the new geographies of ethnic diversity in England and Wales, mapping the evolving landscape of diversity over two decades. The paper makes use of measures of diversity and clustering for small areas (wards) for consistent geographies for 1991-2011, and for the most recent decade using a district level urban-rural area classification. There is evidence of a spreading out of ethnic diversity from urban centres towards areas traditionally less diverse. Spatial mixing has increased - the period also saw a growth of minority ethnic groups in areas outside own-group clusters. The increased share of all ethnic groups (White British and minority) in less urban areas challenges claims of White flight' from diversity. Increased ethnic diversity is clearly an important feature of contemporary population change, and the coming years are likely to see continued mixing between people and within places - and in new locales.
