Abstract
Abstract Enclave denotes an internally homogeneous territorial unit dominated by distinct social, cultural, and economic features, demarcated by a clear boundary, either visible or invisible, to differentiate insiders from outsiders. Scholars have examined the global spread of enclave urbanism from political economy, technological, and sociopsychological perspectives. It has been widely perceived that enclave urbanism threatens social integration and causes widening social segregation. Yet, urban enclaves are highly heterogeneous and often lead to divergent sociospatial consequences in different contexts. We thus call for a context‐sensitive and relational approach to decipher the global diffusion of enclave urbanism and its sociospatial implications through looking beyond the conventional forms of urban enclaves.
