Socio-Spatial Segregation

Socio-spatial segregation refers to the separation of different social groups within urban spaces, often based on factors like income, race, or ethnicity. This phenomenon results in distinct neighborhoods where people live, work, and socialize primarily with others like themselves. It can lead to unequal access to resources, services, and opportunities, contributing to social and economic disparities. For example, wealthier areas may have better schools and public services, while poorer neighborhoods might face neglect. Understanding this division helps us address issues of inequality and promote more inclusive communities.
