Abstract
Vertical class differentiation describes the stratification of social classes over residential floors in multi-story apartment buildings. While lower income households occupy the lower levels, with reduced quality of living conditions, higher income households reside in bigger apartments on the top floors. Although vertically segregated residential areas can be found throughout cities in South Europe, Athens is special as it is to high degree composed of a building stock that facilitates this process. The question this research tries to shed light on is to what extent there is vertical class differentiation present in Athens. By using the method of content analysis an insight into the built environment is given. Although municipalities around the center of Athens show a relatively low degree of vertical class differentiation, the inner city neighborhoods experience higher intensities.
