== Abstract ==

Residential segregation emerges from the interaction of many 
individuals and displays makedly different global patterns depending on 
specific socioeconomic contexts. This paper presents a generative model of 
socioeconomic segregation that reproduces regular macro-patterns of the 
phenomenon through the specification of a minimal amount of parameters 
driving the agent’s behaviour. The purpose of these experiments is to provide 
insights about the emergence of certain types of segregation patterns that have 
been identified in many modern cities and measure the relation between these 
distinct outputs and the degree of segregation they produce.
