Editing Land use segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Land use segregation refers to the practice of separating land uses within a certain geographic area. This can involve zoning laws and regulations that restrict certain types of land uses to specific areas, such as residential, commercial, industrial, or recreational. 

Land use segregation can have both positive and negative effects. On the positive side, it can help prevent conflicts between incompatible land uses, such as industrial facilities located near residential neighborhoods. It can also help to promote efficient land use and transportation planning.

However, land use segregation can also lead to social and economic inequalities, as certain land uses may be concentrated in specific areas that are typically associated with lower property values and less investment. This can lead to a lack of access to amenities and services for certain communities, as well as environmental injustices.

Overall, land use segregation is a complex issue that requires careful consideration of both the benefits and drawbacks in order to create more equitable and sustainable land use patterns.
