===== Definition ===== 

Urban spatial segregation refers to the physical separation and division of different social groups within a city based on factors such as socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or occupation. This segregation can result in the concentration of certain groups in specific areas, often leading to disparities in access to resources, opportunities, and quality of life.

The causes of urban spatial segregation are complex and multifaceted, influenced by historical, economic, political, and social factors. Some key factors contributing to segregation include discriminatory housing practices, gentrification, urban development patterns, and income inequality.

Segregation can have significant impacts on individuals and communities. It can perpetuate existing inequalities and contribute to a cycle of poverty and disadvantage. Segregated neighborhoods may lack access to quality education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and other resources and amenities. This can lead to disparities in social mobility and perpetuate a sense of division between different groups within the city.

Efforts to address urban spatial segregation often involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility. This may include implementing fair housing practices, promoting mixed-income housing developments, investing in infrastructure and services in disadvantaged areas, and fostering community engagement and participation.

Overall, reducing urban spatial segregation is a critical goal for creating more equitable and inclusive cities, where individuals and communities have equal opportunities and access to resources.
