Definition
Geographical segregation refers to the physical separation of different groups of people based on their race, ethnicity, socio-economic status or other characteristics. This segregation can occur at various levels, including neighborhoods, cities, and regions, and can lead to unequal access to resources, opportunities, and social interactions. Geographical segregation can perpetuate inequalities and limit social mobility for marginalized groups. It can also contribute to the formation of social divides and reinforce stereotypes and prejudices. Efforts to address geographical segregation often focus on promoting diversity, inclusion, and equitable access to resources and opportunities for all residents.
