Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement mentions segregation of urban spaces, which refers to the physical separation of different social classes. The term "compartmentalized residential enclaves" denotes such physical separation where people of different socio-economic backgrounds live in specific designated areas or enclaves. Option B talks about the division of urban spaces based on the commercial and functional aspects of cities, and option C refers to the physical distance between the city center and suburbs. Option D talks about the planned development of urban areas, which may or may not address the issue of segregation. Option E refers to architectural styles and does not relate to the given problem. Hence, option A is the best choice.
