urban inequality

Urban inequality refers to the significant disparities in living conditions, opportunities, and resources among different groups within a city. This includes differences in income, access to quality education, healthcare, and housing. Often, wealthier neighborhoods have better services and facilities, while poorer areas may experience higher crime rates, limited job opportunities, and inadequate public services. Factors contributing to urban inequality include systemic issues like racism, economic policies, and historical disinvestment in certain communities. Understanding and addressing urban inequality is crucial for fostering fairer, more inclusive urban environments where all residents can thrive.
