===== Definition ===== 

Central city segregation refers to the social and spatial division of urban areas based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other factors. It typically refers to the concentration of certain racial or ethnic groups in specific neighborhoods or districts within a city, while other groups are concentrated in other areas.

Historically, central city segregation in the United States was primarily enforced through discriminatory housing practices such as redlining, where certain neighborhoods were designated as high-risk for investment or mortgage lending based on racial composition. This led to the exclusion of many minority groups from accessing housing opportunities in desirable urban areas.

The effects of central city segregation are multifaceted and have significant implications for individuals and communities. Segregated neighborhoods often lack access to quality education, healthcare, transportation, and other essential services. Moreover, segregation can perpetuate cycles of poverty and inequality, as concentrated poverty and limited economic opportunities are more prevalent in segregated communities.

Efforts to address central city segregation have taken various forms, including fair housing laws, affordable housing initiatives, and community development programs. However, segregation remains a persistent issue in many cities, with deeply rooted patterns that continue to perpetuate inequality and limit social mobility for disadvantaged groups.
