This piece offers an interpretation of human concentrations.
"Stratification" serves as a conceptual definition of an urban landscapes Through layers of categorization of its people into groups based on socioeconomic factors like wealth, income, race, education, ethnicity, gender, occupation, social status, or derived power (social and political). It is a hierarchy within groups that ascribe them to different levels of privileges. As the relative social position of persons within a social group, category, geographic location.
In modern societies, stratification is defined in terms of social classes as upper class, a middle class, and a lower class; also each of this class can be subdivided into an upper-stratum, a middle-stratum, and a lower stratum, and can be even more divided into kinship, clan, tribe, or caste, or all four.


"Stratification" is a thought-provoking testament that challenges the observers to consider their social, economic, rank on society sparking conversations and inspiring fresh ways of perceiving the world.
