ORDENAMIENTO TERRITORIAL/

The most widely used definition of segre-gation is “the degree to which two or mo-re groups live separately from one anot-her, in different parts of the urban envi-ronment ” (Massey and Denton 1988: 282). This definition encompasses segre-gation as between different racial/ethnic groups, different social classes, or some other unique population characteristic such as education or employment status. Importantly, segregation is not uni-di-mensional and five key characteristics of segregation are often cited: evenness, exposure, isolation, clustering, and cen-tralization (Massey and Denton 1988)
