here in the USA, we usually build interstate highways to cut-off the 'hood.
although, the housing project in my old neighborhood in Nashville used a steep hill that ended in a bluff to separate it. called it “Skyview” and my schoolbus could barely creep up to it. (as an aside I add that this project defied the usual media depiction in that it was 50/50 white and black.)
the notorious heroin-copping spot in ATL is called “the Bluffs,” I always assumed for the same reason.
