Document Summary
The component parts of the urban landscape are: downtown - e. g. the central business district or chicago school. 3. industrial areas - manufacturing: commercial area - of ces, stores, restaurants. 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 re ects certain shared social values. The two ket components of this de nition are that neighbourhoods are comprised of: homes and building (the built form) 2. individual (and groups of) people and their respective cultural traits. The built form of a neighbourhood is relatively permanent; changes come from incrementally (relatively gradual) and/or via broader-scale redevelopment. The people that comprise neighbourhood residents also change incrementally, but over time the social-cultural character of neighbourhoods can change. E. g. in assignment 1: we observed the neighbourhood change over time through different cultural backgrounds.
