Document Summary
Abandoned spaces, forgotten places : ghettos and slum. Residential district characterized by high levels of poverty, substandard housing, and insecure tenure . Dilapidated neighbourhood marked by lack of access to adequate services, under-maintenance, poverty, and inferior living conditions. A slum is formed through activities of the landlord. They"re often but not always diverse in terms of race. Residential district that both contains and concentrates members of a particularethnic or racial group, due to discrimination on behalf of the host" society. Single race group is concentration based on discriintation. These original ghettos were regarded as complete communities because they contained a range of service is that were needed by the general population, including policeman, fireman teachers. It is possible for a neighbor to be both. Walks and bourne (2006) examine the relationship between spatial concentration of visible minorities and the growth of neighbourhood poverty in canadian cities. No ghettos in canadian [or australian cities](using philpott"s 1973 criteria)
