Everyday people are “segregated” based on their wealth in some way. What area you can afford to live in, the car you drive, what restaurants you can afford to eat in, which fruits you can afford in the supermarket etc.. What makes housing special? Must social housing necessarily be located in one of the worlds most expensive areas in central London? Are you criticizing capitalism in general？

I was referring to this specific case. In this housing example, extra infrastructure is being built for the purpose of segregating people. In your examples the segregation emerges less deliberately.

My previous implied question is still unaddressed. I.e. will this kind of segregation actually spur them on in a positive way, or is a negative effect possible (e.g. lowered self esteem, etc.)?
