the city center has got some characteristics there are some prominent buildings in the church with a large square in European cities the city center dates back to the medieval period during the 18th century the Industrial Revolution started the first factories and other industrial buildings were built right outside the old city the new built factories cost the employment to rise which led to urbanization the rapidly rising number of inhabitants caused the city to expand new houses were built these are the working class quarters the houses are very small since the Industrial Revolution the city has had
more experience of expansion and growth of the number of inhabitants from the 60s on in the 20th century the city changed at an alarming rate more affluent people were able to buy a car which gave them the possibility to move to the suburbs where they had more space the working-class inhabitants who were less wealthy stayed in the city and lived in the working-class quarter because a lot of industries moved to other countries with lower wages factories and other industrial buildings were induced anymore this led to the decay of industrial areas unemployment in working-class squatters rose
at an enormous rate causing the decay in working-class quarters because inhabitants couldn't afford any maintenance these neighborhoods are correct rised by high unemployment a lot of criminality and deteriorated buildings Renne in his neighborhood are usually very low sometimes other people want to live in the working-class quarter the industrial architecture the proximity to the city centre and especially the low rents are reasons why people want to live in his neighborhood it starts with children's and artists they haven't got a lot of money to spend and are searching for low rents near the city centre and don't
mind it deteriorated neighborhoods when they get higher wages after they completed their study or sell their artistic work they stay living in the working-class quarter there will be a constant growth of the average income life on the neighborhoods improves other more affluent inhabitants of the city also become interested in living in the working-class quarter the income level to rise criminality decreases and the houses are better maintained because more people are interested in buying a house rents rise the original inhabitants who have low incomes can't afford rising rents and move to cheaper neighborhoods richer inhabitants arrive
which causes the average income to rise in a short period of time the neighborhood improves which leads to even higher rents this process is called gentrification this means that wealthier people inhabit the neighborhood's living conditions in the neighborhood improve and buildings are renovated
