===== Definition ===== 

Urban rural segregation refers to the separation of urban and rural areas within a society, often resulting in distinct disparities in terms of socioeconomic, demographic, and resource distribution. This segregation can manifest in various ways, such as:

1. Residential segregation: Urban areas often have higher residential densities and more diverse housing options, whereas rural areas are characterized by lower densities and limited housing options. This can lead to physical separation and limited interaction between urban and rural populations.

2. Economic segregation: Urban areas typically provide more job opportunities, better access to education, healthcare, and other essential services, leading to higher incomes and greater economic prosperity. Rural areas, on the other hand, may face limited economic opportunities, lower incomes, and higher poverty rates.

3. Infrastructure segregation: Urban areas generally benefit from better infrastructure, including transportation systems, communication networks, and public services like water supply, sanitation, and garbage disposal. Rural areas often face inadequate infrastructure, causing challenges in accessing basic amenities.

4. Demographic segregation: Urban areas tend to have more diverse populations, with greater ethnic, racial, and cultural diversity. Rural areas often have more homogenous populations, leading to differences in cultural practices, social norms, and community cohesion.

Urban rural segregation can have significant consequences, such as unequal access to resources and opportunities, widening income and wealth gaps, and disparities in health and education outcomes. Addressing this segregation requires comprehensive policies and programs aimed at improving infrastructure, expanding economic opportunities, promoting inclusive development, and fostering social integration between urban and rural areas.
