Spatial inequality: The unequal distribution of wealth or resources in a geographic area, so that some places are richer than others.

This means that there are poor and rich people living in the same area. As you can see from the pictures in this presentation, this happens in cities around the world. These homes are only a small distance apart, yet completely different.
