Frontières internes et mobilité résidentielle en Irlande du Nord

Abstract

Though Northern Ireland’s boundaries are maintaining themselves physically, they are facing changes that collide with the historical tensions linked to the troubles. In the main cities, the uneven demographic growth between the Catholics and Protestants Communities generates tensions at the interfaces (which can be compared to real urban boundaries), interfering with the residential mobility and feeding consequently the troubles.
