Spatial class segregation refers to the physical separation of different social classes within a given geographic area. This can manifest in various ways, such as through the clustering of wealthy individuals in affluent neighborhoods and the concentration of low-income families in disadvantaged communities. Spatial class segregation can result from economic disparities, historical patterns of exclusion and discrimination, and housing policies that perpetuate inequality. This phenomenon can have significant impacts on access to resources, opportunities, and social mobility for individuals from different socio-economic backgrounds.
