Definition

Residential spatial segregation refers to the pattern of separation of different social groups into different neighborhoods or areas within a city or region. This segregation can be based on various factors such as income, race, ethnicity, religion, or occupation. Segregation can lead to inequalities in access to resources and opportunities, as well as reinforce existing social divides and stereotypes.

Residential spatial segregation can be influenced by historical patterns of discrimination, government policies, economic factors, and individual preferences. It can have negative impacts on social cohesion, economic development, and public health.

Efforts to address residential spatial segregation include policies aimed at promoting affordable housing, reducing discrimination in housing markets, and promoting mixed-income neighborhoods. Community-based initiatives that aim to bridge social divides and promote diversity and inclusion can also help to reduce residential segregation.
