Sažetak
As shown by the results of the population census, the ethnic structure of the population of metropolitan Sydney is very pronounced. By analysing data on the spatial distribution in Sydney of immigrants from South, West and North Europe, and some Asian countries, as well as the spatial distribution of the domestic population, it is possible to follow the economic and social advancement of individual ethnic groups. Immigrants from South Europe who have come to Australia since World War II generally inhabit the central parts of the city which are less attractive for the domestic population and for immigrants that have lived in Australia for a longer period. Due to economic advancement, with time, many immigrants from South Europe move out of ethnic enclaves into more attractive neighbourhoods, leaving space for the formation of new ethnic enclaves. The second generation, in general, does not tend towards ethnic concentration, and in this respect is more similar to the domestic population and to immigrants from West and North Europe who are spatially dispersed, creating an amalgam in the Sydney population.
