我才不是软妹！元增长到一万亿美元以上，”这个数字相当于48个最不发达国家国民生产总值的总和。
贫富之间的悬殊导致了多种形式的隔离，人们自身与环境隔离。穷人无家可归，贫困潦倒，难以行使自己的权利。而这些权利本应是其理所当然应该享有的，包括隐私权和家庭生活权。
不及时、不可靠的公共交通对于有能力的人和无能力的人都是一种阻碍；路灯的不足使得市民感觉在夜间很不安全，对妇女和儿童更是如此。 隔离也是一种社会现象，无论是在发展中国家还是在发达国家，种族歧视，即按照种族、宗教、或文化的不同而在城市划一些分界线。一些国家的法律、法规规定妇女不能拥有财产和房屋。更多的人把有限的钱财投资到建造住宅上，而又不被官方或金融机构认可。
城市的贫穷是经济隔离过程的最终结果。缺乏教育、培训，充满竞争的就业市场及误导性政策削弱了城市的生产能力，阻碍了那些官方部门充分发挥其市场潜力。
最具有影响的隔离形式之一就是政治隔离，教育的缺乏加上政治上的隔离使得穷人无法积极参与到影响他们生活的决定中去。
