"Is gentrification another form of segregation?". Gentrification is shifting financially secure individuals to a disadvantaged or residential town. Although some argue that this will result in a delightfully varied community rich in economic stability, most studies have shown a mutual agreement. Although gentrification first leads to integration, it eventually leads to racial and financial division. Segregation is when different races, genders or a certain group of people are separated or remove and do not have access to something or someone else. According to Adler, in his article in "The Gist," he explains that most of the few Latinos left live concentrated primarily in the far-east side. This type of racial segregation began with the simple act of gentrification of the urban area "When gentrification starts, neighborhoods can become more integrated and diverse – but all too often, they end up being predominantly white." (Adler, 2015) What happened in this Manhattan neighborhood is exactly what happens around the country. The process starts with bringing businesses not generally in the neighborhood. An idea that sounds terrific until individuals with better incomes start taking advantage of the cheaper home market in a previously unattractive neighborhood. Financial segmentation is the separating of people based on their financial status. Ultimately, gentrification does not bridge the difference but worsens it. As costs grow, more people are relocating to other cities. These families, who were supposed to be included in this new economic affluence, are left behind, trapped in one tight region, or forced to leave. The original concept of integration was great. Many say that gentrification has resulted in unity. However, this is only sometimes the case. The same thing happens all the time in places like The East Village. The plan was to integrate a more prosperous economy, but the remaining Latinos had little to do with their new neighbors. Tobar explains that many integrated are vastly different. A wealthy citizen in one town may be broadening the economy, but these people go to separate stores and schools, so everything has yet to be merged. Apart from integration, creating a new economic source is one of the most compelling grounds for gentrification. The goal was to create a more diverse market in metropolitan areas. Stores in more

affluent areas might open sites in more rural places. This would assist the markets in opening to a new supply of customers while providing citizens with a convenient location where they would ordinarily go. The difficulty was that the original occupants were not the core client base, and according to a PBS piece released in 2019, the wealthy market still exists. Rather than integrating into this market, more and more businesses like these are moving into the area, and their customer base tends to follow because housing is less expensive. Reardon and Bischoff (2011) discovered increases in income segregation from 1970 to 2000 across the 100 largest central city areas, and they show that this rise was more significant for black families than for white ones. Unfortunately, the notion was a fantastic strategy to end segregation, but it pushed out the people who originally constructed the cities and frequently ended up predominantly white. It is challenging to comprehend the trends because gentrification is very recent entirely—it dates from only the 1900s. (Freeman, 2009). There have been regions where a perfect balance of events has occurred, resulting in a varied and economically stable community. This is due to fewer income-driven housing possibilities. In the larger perspective, gentrification would ideally result in a diversified and integrated community. Conversely, gentrification devastates culturally vibrant neighborhoods by dividing them against racial and economic lines.
