===== Definition =====

Macro segregation in the urban and social context refers to the broad-scale spatial separation of different social groups within a city or metropolitan area. Unlike micro-segregation, which focuses on segregation at a smaller scale (such as within neighborhoods or city blocks), macro segregation considers patterns of segregation at a larger, city-wide or regional level.

Macro segregation can manifest along various lines, including race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and other demographic characteristics. It often results from historical processes, discriminatory policies, economic disparities, and cultural factors that influence where different groups choose to live and work within a city.

This type of segregation can have profound effects on urban development, social cohesion, and access to opportunities. It may contribute to the concentration of poverty or affluence in certain areas, uneven access to quality education, healthcare, and other services, and disparities in employment opportunities and economic mobility.

Efforts to address macro segregation typically involve comprehensive urban planning strategies, housing policies, transportation initiatives, and community development programs aimed at promoting inclusive and equitable growth. These efforts often seek to create diverse and mixed-income neighborhoods, improve access to affordable housing and public transportation, and foster social integration and cohesion across different demographic groups within the urban landscape.
