Great data visualisation of our daily, unconscious segregation
“Guided by the understanding that we, as a society, tend not to interact outside of our respective bubbles, The Atlas of Inequality team’s research seeks to visualize and inform viewers as to the places in their lives where they are actively segregated.
In his recent TEDx talk, Moro notes not only the negative impacts on health and education, and the crime rates faced by segregated lower-income communities, but also the interpersonal costs on individuals and the creative costs for companies. He notes that on average, an individual interacts personally or professionally with only 5000 people in their life. Because of our habits and behaviors we tend to exacerbate segregation, leaving the large majority of those 5000 individuals very similar to ourselves.”
