Definition

Intra metropolitan segregation refers to the spatial separation and concentration of different racial and ethnic groups within a metropolitan area. It is a phenomenon where certain neighborhoods or areas in a city have a higher concentration of one specific racial or ethnic group, while other neighborhoods are dominated by a different group.

Intra metropolitan segregation can occur due to a variety of factors, including historical patterns of racial and ethnic discrimination, socioeconomic disparities, and individual preferences for living near people who share a similar cultural background.

This type of segregation can have significant social, economic, and political implications. It can contribute to unequal access to quality education, healthcare, and job opportunities for certain racial and ethnic groups. It can also contribute to the perpetuation of stereotypes and biases, as well as hinder social interaction and understanding between different groups.

Efforts to address intra-metropolitan segregation often involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting fair housing practices, encouraging diverse and inclusive neighborhoods, and providing equal opportunities for all residents within a metropolitan area.
