Abstract
The combination of various processes (concentration or dispersion, diversity or specialization, monoethnicity or multiethnicity) shapes different types of ethnic business areas. This first paper introduces the concept of «ethnic downtowns». The papers' methodology is based upon a review of recent literature on landscapes of ethnic businesses in metropolitan North America, Australia and Europe and the author's own research and exploration in several ethnic businesses areas.
