GEOG 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 28: Visible Minority, Cultural Capital
Document Summary
In the mid 20th century, the response to urban crowding, industrial pollution, and a booming population in north america was to create new suburban neighbourhoods. New residents were settled in these suburban areas which were built different from the urban form; dominated by the automobile, strip malls, industrial buildings, and public housing, with few community amenities or historical buildings. City #1 has seen incomes rise by 20% City #3 has seen incomes drop by 20%- majority of neighbourhoods are in the inner suburbs. As of 2000, broad sections of etobicoke, north york and scarborough had average individual incomes 20-40% below the city average which is a trend til this date. Within city #3, there is significant variation, and further study has sub-classified these neighbourhoods into four categories: A larger households, higher-than-average economic status, newer owner-occupied single- family homes, many foreign-born non-whites, especially chinese. B more seniors, average economic status, older owner-occupied housing, largely white population.
