Definition

Spatial socio-economic segregation refers to the physical separation of people based on their socioeconomic status. This can manifest in different ways, such as certain neighborhoods or communities being primarily inhabited by people of a certain income level, or specific areas being designated for housing projects or affluent residential developments. This type of segregation can result in unequal access to resources and opportunities, leading to disparities in education, employment, healthcare, and other aspects of life. It can also reinforce existing social inequalities and perpetuate cycles of poverty.
