One of the outcomes of changing economic structure and income division
in the rise of industrial capitalism was social segregation in the
modern city. Such a development is usually viewed statically, taking
snapshots between several years. In this paper I will investigate the
changes in social segregation through study of individual movements in
the city, tying both views together using life course data. One of the
hypotheses is that social mobility was effectively increasing social
segregation. We can see this development in the light of the formation
of distinctive working-class communities. The study will use GIS and
other visualization techniques to show distribution of movements and
changing social structures. Methodically it will look at how well
equipped these techniques are in showing and analyzing historical change.
