Definition

Multi-ethnic spatial segregation refers to the physical separation of different ethnic or racial groups within a particular geographic area. This can manifest in various ways, such as distinct neighborhoods or communities predominantly populated by specific ethnic groups, or barriers like highways or natural landscapes dividing different ethnic populations.

This type of segregation can occur for a variety of reasons, including historical patterns of discrimination and segregation, economic inequalities, and cultural preferences for living among people of similar backgrounds. Multi-ethnic spatial segregation can have negative impacts on social cohesion, access to resources, and opportunities for intercultural exchange and understanding.

Efforts to address multi-ethnic spatial segregation often involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, inclusive urban planning, and equitable access to housing and services for all residents. By fostering more integrated and inclusive communities, societies can work towards reducing the negative effects of segregation and promoting greater social harmony and cohesion.
