Preliminary AI definition (ChatGPT 3.5)

City segregation refers to the spatial and social separation of different groups within an urban area based on various characteristics such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and sometimes other factors like religion or nationality. This separation can manifest in the form of distinct neighborhoods or districts where people from particular demographic groups tend to live.

Segregation can result from historical patterns, discriminatory practices, economic disparities, and social inequalities. It often leads to unequal access to resources, services, and opportunities for different groups within the city. This phenomenon can have significant implications for the quality of life, educational opportunities, employment prospects, and overall well-being of individuals in segregated communities.

City segregation can be a complex issue influenced by historical, economic, and social factors, and addressing it often requires comprehensive strategies that promote inclusivity, diversity, and equitable development within urban areas.
