Just take a look at this phenomenon called the Delmare Divide. In St. Louis, Missouri, Delmare Boulevard cuts in city from east to west.
- Role: subject
- In the video: The narrator (the transcript spells it ‘Delmare’) presents the Delmar Divide as an example of segregation in American cities: the street separates wealthier neighbourhoods to the south from poorer ones to the north, with Forest Park (St Louis) on one side and Sherman Park (St Louis) on the other.
- Why it matters: The street is the evidence for the argument that access to good parks tracks wealth.
