Document Summary
Neighbourhood change: economic change: filtering & gentrification, cultural change: residential segregation. Residential segregation: charter & minority groups, congregation vs. Neighbourhood: a part of the city that displays some internal homogeneity regarding type of housing, may be characterized by a relatively uniform income level and/or ethnic identity, and usually reflects certain shared social values. The two key components of this definition are that neighbourhoods are comprised of: homes and buildings (the built form), and, individual (and groups of) people and their respective cultural traits. The built form of neighbourhoods is relatively permanent. When the neighbourhood has been constructed it"s relatively permanent. Can change incrementally when people make renovations but it"s very incremental. Occasionally we get a big scale change. E. g. converting the residential homes into commercial offices. The people that comprise neighbourhood residents also change incrementally, but overtime the social-cultural character of neighbourhoods can change: recall: assign. #1 observed neighbourhood change over time via fire.
