Inequality City


Well, I born in Santiago and I always live in this city, so today I'm going to write about this place and a procces .
In first term, Santiago is the totally reflection of a society inequality and we can to watch this in the spatial configuration identically that others cities of America Latina like Lima, Buenos Aires, Mexico D.F, Rio de Janeiro, etc. 
In the city of Santiago, the inequality shows in the difference between districts (comunas) or specific areas (for example "north-east of Santiago" or "south area") in relation to green areas, access, population density, quality of life, levels of salary, etc defined as a "spatial segregation". And his difference generally produced a difference between the people of this places, avoid the contact between them. I think that this procces is a tendency in the all cities and the countries, but I think the goverments must to reduce this problem by means laws, regulation maps, etc.
A definition of segregation is "grade of spatial proximity or territorial agglomeration of the families belonging a same social group defined in etnic, age group, religious preference, or socioeconomic terms" (Sabatini, Caceres & Cerda, 2001)...
