The Segregation of People in Cities
People also become segregated in the urban area. People
become segregated into groups based on their social class, type of occupation
and ethnicity. People prefer to live close to those who are of similar status.
Wealthier people are able to buy better bigger homes whilst
poorer people must settle for houses which are cramped and substandard in the
worst residential areas. Many cannot afford to buy a home, so they rent. They
live in high densities
Ghettos are the most obvious global signs of
sorting different population groups into different spaces. A ghetto is an area
where ethnic, minorities are concentrated and are the dominant population.
Immigrants in the UK have settled in
concentrated in parts of the inner areas of towns and cities.
Inner cities have ghettos because immigrants have are forced
to live in areas of poor housing.
