Definition

Place-based segregation refers to the social and economic segregation of neighborhoods or regions based on factors such as race, socio-economic status, religion, or ethnicity. This type of segregation occurs when individuals or groups are intentionally or systematically segregated and isolated within specific geographic locations, leading to unequal access to resources, opportunities, and services.

Place-based segregation can have a significant impact on the quality of life and opportunities available to individuals and communities. It can result in disparities in education, healthcare, employment, and overall well-being, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.

Efforts to address place-based segregation often involve policies and initiatives aimed at promoting integration, inclusivity, and equity in neighborhoods and communities. This may include strategies to improve access to affordable housing, transportation, education, and healthcare, as well as promoting economic development and social cohesion across diverse populations.
