- Abstract
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.
