===== Definition ===== Mobility segregation refers to the separation of individuals based on their mobility capabilities or limitations. This can occur in different contexts, such as transportation, housing, or public spaces. In transportation, mobility segregation can occur when certain modes of transportation are not accessible or adapted for people with mobility impairments. This can result in limited options for individuals with disabilities, leading to isolation and a lack of equal opportunities for mobility. In housing, mobility segregation can be seen in the physical design of buildings or neighborhoods that do not provide accessible features for individuals with mobility impairments. This can restrict their ability to live independently and participate fully in community life. Public spaces can also contribute to mobility segregation if they are not designed with accessibility in mind. Lack of ramps, elevators, or specially designed facilities can exclude individuals with disabilities from enjoying and utilizing these spaces. Mobility segregation can have significant social, economic, and psychological impacts on individuals with mobility impairments. It can reinforce inequality and hinder their inclusion and integration into society. It is important for governments, organizations, and communities to promote accessible design and inclusive policies that minimize mobility segregation and ensure equal opportunities for all individuals.
