Studies focused on the measurement of urban segregation have been traditionally developed using a place-based approach, adopting the residential place as the perspective of analysis. Recent debates in the literature have highlighted the importance of adopting an individual approach to investigate the phenomenon and incorporationg a diverse range of places beyond the residence into the analysis, which allowed researchers to account for the understanding of segregation as an individual experience. This paper provides an overview of the primary perspectives for studying urban segregation, with emphasis on studies from the individual perspective and those considering spaces of activities. The paper also discusses the methodological challenges faced by studies from this perspective, including the use of big data. Despite those challenges, the empirical analysis of urban segregation enabled by the individual perspective opens up an important avenue of research to further our understanding of social inequalities.
