Urban Challenges AP Human Geography

What is the “inner city?” Residential neighborhoods that surround the CBD. Suburbs exist on the periphery of the city. High concentrations of low income residents (compared to the suburbs) Inner city residents face a unique set of challenges.

Deterioration Over time, houses grow old and fall into a state of disrepair Landlords abandon properties instead of maintaining them. Filtering- larger houses are divided into multiple units. Redlining- banks deny loans to people living in certain areas.

Urban Renewal The process of identifying blighted neighborhoods, purchasing the property, clearing the site (including residents), and redeveloping the area. Controversy: destroys traditional neighborhoods, “negro removal (1960s)

Gentrification Middle class suburbanites move back into the city and renovate housing Shorter commute, closer to nightlife/ recreation Rents/ taxes increase May change ethnic patterns (minorities are displaced)

Social Issues Underclass- refers to residents trapped in continuous economic and social problems. “Culture of Poverty” Unemployment Alcoholism Drug addiction Lack of education Crime Homelessness

Economic Issues Inner city residents require public services, but cannot pay taxes to cover them. Two choices: Reduce Services (close libraries, reduce public transit, outdated school equipment) Middle class residents may leave Raise Taxes
