Definition

Intra urban segregation is the separation of different social or economic groups within a single city or urban area. This can occur through various means such as housing discrimination, unequal access to resources and services, or zoning policies that restrict certain populations to specific areas. Intra-urban segregation can lead to increased inequality, lack of social cohesion, and limited economic opportunities for disadvantaged communities. Efforts to address intra-urban segregation often involve policies that promote more diverse and inclusive neighborhoods, as well as initiatives to provide equal access to education, healthcare, and other essential resources for all residents.
