segregative
Tending toward separation
Segregative describes something that causes, promotes, or tends toward segregation—the separation of people or things into distinct groups.
The term appears most often in discussions of housing, education, and urban planning, where policies or practices may have segregative effects even without explicit intent to discriminate.
The court found the school district's boundary changes to be segregative in nature.
It functions as the adjective form of segregate, contrasting with integrative.
