What is an inner city?
What were they originally like?
An inner city is found near the centre of the city, it consists of many new factories, surrounded by numerous terraced housing, to sustain the working population of the factories. This living environment gave the population a friendly atmosphere.
What are they like now?
In the last few decades many schemes and polices have been brought in to change the inner city for the better, but most have failed. The terraced housing was demolished and high rise flats were built in their place to sustain the growing population.
Many of the factories have shut down and become derelict, this is because the company's can find cheaper more suitable land else where for there factories.
Why do the inner cites need regenerating?
As the terraced housing was demolished, the friendly atmosphere went with it. The high rise flats were used to house so many people that the local population became more isolated from each other and kept to themselves. There is no trust, and no sense of community anymore among the people who live there.
Vandalism and crime is increased when large parts of the population are unemployed, and this degrades the community even more. Insurance polices go up dramatically for the business among the inner city and many move out leaving abandoned unused buildings, which in turn attract more vandalism and crime.
