The study sets forth to understand the complex spatial relations among refugees and asylum seekers (RAS), existing immigrant communities and the native population. By exploring the patterns of residential distribution of refugee population in three different cities which host such populations (Larisa,Trikala and Volos), its aims to shed light on the segregation dynamics urban Greece undergoes and as such to inform of the integration possibilities of refugees and the cohesion of the society as a whole.
