Abstract
Upward and downward residential mobility behaviour of households between different income level neighbourhoods in Karachi is analysed in this research. A multinomial logit technique is used to analyse the data of 6275 households in the city. Results of the analysis indicates that mobility between different income level neighbourhoods in a developing country is driven by considerations than arc different as compared with the developed countries. The analysis shows that upward and downward moves LUC sensitive to discquilibrium in housing consumption. There is still premium to independent housing as upward mobility is not associated with moves to apartment housing, and do wnward moves are more sensitive to a declining permanent income relative to current income. Moreover, upward residential mobility is associated more with a move to peaceful areas and downward mobility means moving to worst serviced areas.
