Spatial divisions in the city. Lecture 10 summary social polarization and environmental racism. A key urban process is the sorting of people into different parts of the city. There are a number of different sorting processes that are common in cities: Probably the most powerful sorting process in our society is by wealth. The wealthy increasingly live in clusters of rich people, poor live in areas of poor people. That is, they are locations where the rich don"t want to live.
