Editing Macro-residential segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Macro residential segregation refers to the unequal distribution of different racial and ethnic groups across different neighborhoods or areas within a city or region. It is a pattern of segregation that occurs at the larger scale, often resulting in the concentration of certain racial or ethnic groups in specific areas while others are excluded or limited in their access to those areas.

Macro residential segregation can be influenced by various factors, including historical patterns of discrimination and exclusion, socioeconomic disparities, government policies, and cultural preferences. It is often perpetuated by systemic and structural inequalities, such as restricted housing opportunities, redlining, and discriminatory lending practices.

The consequences of macro residential segregation are far-reaching and can have significant impacts on various aspects of individuals' lives. It can lead to unequal access to quality education, healthcare, job opportunities, and resources. It can also contribute to social and economic disparities, perpetuating cycles of poverty and limiting social mobility for marginalized communities.

Efforts to address macro residential segregation often involve interventions at multiple levels, including policy changes, equitable housing initiatives, community engagement, and education campaigns aimed at challenging biases and promoting diversity and inclusion.
