He has made distinguished contributions to geographical scholarship, especially to the study of urbanisation. His pioneering A Social Geography of Belfast (1960) is a classic of urban social geography. Subsequent work extended his range, not only with detailed studies of London, but also of urbanisation more generally, focusing on the study of ethnic minorities in cities.
