Map preview for When socio-economic separation is built into the city

This is a well-known example from Istanbul, often cited for how clearly socio-economic differences show up in the city’s layout. You can see it in street patterns, which are more planned and designed in the south, as well as in building density, greenery, and infrastructure, all within the same urban area.

Are there places near you where this contrast is just as visible?
