This segregation can occur along various lines, including race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, or other demographic characteristics. In urban areas, certain blocks or neighborhoods may become predominantly inhabited by particular groups due to historical factors, economic disparities, discriminatory practices, or personal preferences.<br /> <br /> Block segregation can have profound effects on the social fabric of a community. It can contribute to the concentration of poverty or affluence, the formation of cultural enclaves, and the perpetuation of social inequalities. Segregated blocks may experience disparities in access to quality education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and public services.<br /> <br /> Efforts to address block segregation often involve urban planning policies, housing initiatives, community development programs, and efforts to promote inclusivity and diversity. Creating mixed-income neighborhoods, improving access to affordable housing, investing in infrastructure and amenities, and fostering social integration are among the strategies aimed at reducing block segregation and promoting more equitable and cohesive urban environments.<br /> ===== Synonyms ===== <br /> The following terms are synonymous with block segregation:<br /> <br /> block level segregation.<br /> <br /> References and literature addressing this segregation form under these synonymous terms can be found below.<br /> ==See also== <br /> ==Related segregation forms==<br /> Block segregation is frequently discussed in the literature with the following segregation forms: <br /> <br /> [[street-level segregation]]<br /> [[File:block_segregation.png|780x780px]]<br /> <br /> This visualization is based on the study [[Segregation_Wiki:About| The Multidisciplinary Landscape of Segregation Research]]. <br /> <br /> For the complete network of interrelated segregation forms, please refer to: <br /> <br /> * [https://tinyurl.com/2235lkhw First year of publication] <br /> <br /> * [https://tinyurl.com/2d8wg5n3 Louvain clusters] <br /> <br /> * [https://tinyurl.com/223udk5r Betweenness centrality] <br /> <br /> * [https://tinyurl.com/244d8unz Disciplines in which segregation forms first emerged (Scopus database).] <br /> ==References== <br /> ==Notes== <br /> &lt;references /&gt; <br /> {{NoteAI}} <br /> ==Block segregation appears in the following literature== <br /> <br /> McEvoy D., Jones T.P.
