Year 12 and 13 – I have emailed you with a link to this BBC radio programme on gentrificaton (a process of renovation and revival of deteriorated urban neighborhoods by means of influx of more affluent resident).
It is a topic we look at in both the World Cities (year 13) and Changing Places (year 12) topics. I would really encourage you to listen to it.
Mr Monteith
In both the World Cities (yr13) and Changing Places topics (yr12) we examine the issue of gentrification. This is a very interesting link discussing how you can best identity gentrified areas. It is worth exploring some of the links on the page.
Year 13- here is the link to the Los Angeles map. Which areas have gentrified? Is this evidence of reurbanisation? Will this reduce the ‘donut effect’ and prevalence of edge cities?
