Definition

Metropolitan racial segregation refers to the separation of individuals of different races within a metropolitan area. This may occur through various means such as discriminatory housing policies, economic disparities, social prejudices, and historical patterns of racial segregation. As a result, certain neighborhoods or areas within a city may be predominantly inhabited by people of a certain race, leading to a lack of diversity and potentially perpetuating inequalities in opportunities and resources. Efforts to address metropolitan racial segregation often involve policies aimed at promoting integration, fair housing practices, and addressing underlying systemic issues contributing to segregation.
