Spatial residential segregation refers to the physical separation of different racial or socioeconomic groups within a community or city. This segregation can occur through various means, such as zoning laws, housing discrimination, and historical patterns of settlement. Spatial residential segregation can have negative effects on the social and economic well-being of marginalized groups, as they may have limited access to resources, opportunities, and social networks. efforts to address spatial residential segregation often involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting fair housing practices and creating more inclusive and integrated communities.
