EXAMINE THE REASONS FOR INNER CITY INITIATIVES AND RE-DEVELOPMENT SCHEMES (10) The widest definition of an Inner City is “An area found in older cities surrounding the CBD, where the prevailing economic, social, and environmental conditions pose severe problems'; Although the inner city areas have been identified as having problems for many years, it was not until 1988 that Margaret Thatcher put forward the “Action for Cities'; campaign.

housing around downtown. Over time, these housing areas became lower class housing and ethnic sectors arose within these areas. If you look at the sector model in figure 9.17 on page 258, this is the exact structure of Toledo.

In Toledo, the lower class sector to the left of the manufacturing grew a large Hispanic population, which
The presence of crime in the inner cities of America is the result of many different factors. Although it is impossible to explain the issue with one single theory, it is possible to recognize the characteristics within society that have traditionally been associated with crime.

Place Matters: Metropolitics for the Twenty-first Century “Could suburbs prosper independently of central cities? Probably. But would they prosper even more if they were a part of a better-integrated metropolis?

transport as availability of private cars were not common. It is a model where zones are divided by concentric circles. (Bunyi, J. 2010) Figure 1: Concentric Zone Model (SSC Leichhardt Geography Blog, 2011) The zones are divided with the Central Business District (CBD) in the centre, where most businesses are as it has a developed transport system to accommodate commuters.

John Shelton Reed, in Dixie Bohemia, illustrates life in the New Orleans French Quarter during the 1920s by following the writers, artists, and other socialites of the era. Reed begins the book by describing the setting; he explained the population of people living in New Orleans, why the location in the South was important to the development of this renaissance, and why all of it occurred in the first place. The second part of the book is an annotated version of William Faulkner and William Spratling’s
