Madrid Mind Map
DEFINITIOS
-
Counter-urbanisation: When large numbers of people move from urban areas into surrounding countryside or rural areas.
Gentrification: Is the revival of an urban area that has been subject to environmental, and possibly socio-economic decline. Characterised by abandoned industrial buildings, poor housing and deteriorating urban neighbourhoods, a negative spiral took hold leading to those who could afford to, to move out.
Reason
It is a change that occurs in the population of the users of a territory such that the new users are of a higher socioeconomic status than the previous ones, who are displaced from their neighborhoods in that process. The reason of why it happens is because a neighborhood that could have been any neighborhood in its day, becomes an attractive neighborhood. In other words, it occurs in those neighborhoods that become "fashionable" where the autochthonous population is replaced by people with a higher level of income and economic capacity.
Outskirt
• The natural process of gentrification is in itself less aggressive. In its beginnings, a progressive social change is produced through which the population with less economic capacity that lives in central neighborhoods is replaced by more affluent classes that come from suburbs, motivated mainly by avoiding the difficulties of access to the center of the city. Today, gentrification is not restricted to the urban centre, but is beginning to take place on certain peripheries accessible by public transport, with architectural heritage values or close to large urban investments.
Impacts
• Economic: after gentrification more economic capacity is needed and there is a general
rise in living cost in such areas
• Environmental: while there is an increase in tourism in many of there áreas that undergo gentrification, many more
people circulating there and many more people going there have many environmental negative impacts such as pollutions, noise levels, trash being thrown around etc…
• Social: gentrification has a huge impact in social status of the areas that undergo such process. Social status similar to economic level rises and tend to require higher standards. Thus those with lower social level need to leave the inner city neighborhoods and move to the outskirts of the city because of the lower living standards there.
Urban Sprawl: refers to the unrestricted growth in many urban areas of housing, commercial development, and roads over large expanses of land, with little concern for urban planning.

-
In-migration: In-migration is the process of people moving into a new area in their country to live there permanently.
Informal sector jobs: do not follow the laws and rules associated with a formal business e.g. they don't pay tax.
Eco-city: Human settlement modeled on the self sustaining resilient structure and function of natural ecosystems.
Resilient city: cities that have the ability to absorb, recover and prepare for future shocks (economic, environmental, social & institutional). Resilient cities promote sustainable development, well-being and inclusive growth. The OECD is investigating how cities can increase their resilience.
