Socio-spatial segregation is a multidimensional phenomenon. It manifests itself in the residential segregation of communities that cannot choose their place of residence (physical dimension), combined with the lack of opportunities provided by local services (functional segregation). Both impose impediments to participation and trigger symbolic stigmatization through the construction of conflicting imaginaries about the ‘others’, leading to forms of relational segregation. Segregation feeds on multiple incompatibilities (discrimination, differentiation, marginalization, exclusion) between different parts of the city, creating or exacerbating dysfunctionalities. This article focuses on the factors of functional segregation, it proposes a methodology for assessing Persistent Functional Segregation (PFS) and applies this methodology to 120 public rental neighborhoods included in the Atlas SIPA de Património (IHRU - SIPA, 2011). At the end, results are presented regarding the intensity and effects of the enduring nature of PFS in these neighborhoods. Even if we consider that the urban agglomerations where they were built have expanded substantially over 4 or 5 decades, the condition of isolation has remained. This functional segregation is visible in the absence or scarcity of commercial and social nodes. Situations of marginality are prevalent regarding the commercial structure and proximity services. Where some of the amenities dealt with in this analysis do exist, they affect a residual number of neighborhoods and, when they do appear, they are not very diversified. These communities have access to proximity amenities in the neighborhoods that surround them. The functional segregation of these neighborhoods, along with those that correlate with it, is perpetuated over generations.
