THE INNER CITY (ZONE 2) Also known as the Twilight or Transition Zone

Transition Zone

Typical style of housing in the Inner City Typical aerial view of an Inner City Area Zone 2 of the Urban Land-use Model – THE INNER CITY

When and Why did Inner City Areas Grow up? Developed during the 19 th century – due to rapid expansion of industry (led to the demand for workers) As more moved to the cities – there was a demand for low cost houses for the workers This resulted in high-density cheap housing (fitting as many houses as possible in a small area People had to live close to work due to lack of transport

What types of land-use are found in Inner City areas? 19 th Century Terraced Housing Industry – large factories built during the industrial revolution (now some knocked down / converted) Canals and RailwaysMain Roads (often now ring roads taking traffic out of CBDs)

Typical Characteristics of Inner City Areas High Density Housing Mainly terraced (some back to back) Built in Long Straight Rows Front doors opening onto the street Few Amenities (little or no sanitation (often built with toilet in Back Yard Mainly Ethnic Minorities, students, older people and unemployed (lower income groups) Mainly private / rented

Problems in Inner City Areas (since 1950s / 1950s) 1. Industrial Decline 2. High unemployment 3. Abandoned Warehouses – eyesore and led to vandalism 4. High Crime Rates 5. Poor Quality Housing 6. Overcrowding 7. Lack of Open Space 8. Lack of Parking Spaces 9. Atmospheric Pollution (factories / traffic) 10. Lots of heavy traffic (for industry)

Complete these tasks

Task 1.Using an OS map of Edinburgh find the inner city of the city and then list the evidence you can see of this urban zone. 2.Complete questions 9,10 and 11 on p 335/6 of the Core Higher Textbook.

Reasons for Suburban Growth Reasons for Growth of the Suburbs 1.Better public transport and increased car ownership meant people could separate work from where they live. 2. Building societies provided mortgages making it easier to buy homes 3. People were better off and looking for a better living environment. INNER AND OUTER SUBURBS

Task 1.Using an OS map of Edinburgh find the inner and outer suburbs of the city and then list the evidence you can see of these urban zone.
