2. Lesson Objectives
• All will understand the
problems in inner city areas
in richer countries.
• Most will understand what
strategies have been
introduced to deal with the
first of these problems.
• Some will be able to justify
their solution to this
problem.
3. Key Terms
Urban Development Corporations (UDCs)
Set up in the 1980s and 1990s using public funding to buy land and improve inner
areas of cities, partly by attracting private investment.
City Challenge
A strategy in which local authorities had to design a scheme and submit a bid
for funding, competing against other councils. They also had to become part of a
partnership involving the local community and private companies who would fund
part of the development.
Regeneration
Improving an area.
Sustainable Community
Community (offering housing, employment and recreation opportunities) that is
broadly in balance with the environment and offers people a good quality of life.
Quality of Life
How good a person’s life is as measured by such things as quality of housing and
environment, access to education, health care, how secure people feel and how
contented and satisfied they are with their lifestyle.
4. Why did the inner city initially
develop?
• Inner city areas grew up in the
19th century as towns grew
rapidly due to industrialisation
and there was great demand for
workers in the industries that
had grown up.
• Large numbers moved from the
countryside to the city for work
and needed low cost housing
close to work due to the lack of
public or private transport.
• This led to the growth of
factories and low-cost terraced
housing around what is now the
city centre.
• Transport
infrastructure such as
canals and railway lines
were created to
transport goods from
these areas to other
cities.
5. Problems in the Inner City

Use the information from the clip and
your own knowledge of Digbeth,
Bordesley, Handsworth, Aston and
Birmingham’s other inner city areas to
write a list of the problems that afflict
the inner city.
6. What has been done to solve the
inner city’s problems?
Since the end of the 2nd
world war in 1945, successive governments
have had a variety of strategies to improve living in inner city
areas, most famously in the building of cheap, high rise blocks of
flats in the 1960s and early 1970s as a quick fix to the massively
overcrowded and dilapidated old Victorian terraces. Over the
years, these strategies have changed and there has been a
greater involvement of private funding and the local community.
Turn to the next double page in your books and copy down the table
on the next slide. Then visit each of the different posters
around the room to get information on the different strategies
that have been used to try to overcome the problems in the
inner city.

8. My Preferred Solution
Which of the 3 strategies do you think is
the best? Give full justification for your
answer. You should stress its
advantages and the disadvantages of
the other two.
