housing integration
Diverse residential communities
Housing integration is the process of creating racially or economically mixed residential neighborhoods, typically through policies that dismantle segregation.
It involves removing barriers—legal, financial, or social—that have kept communities separated by race or class: The city's housing integration efforts included building affordable units in wealthy suburbs.
The term often appears in discussions of civil rights history and ongoing debates about zoning, school districts, and equitable development.
