Question 9

A spatial analysis of metropolitan dynamics in a post-industrial city identifies three distinct demographic and physical shifts:

  1. In the inner city, former industrial warehouse districts are redeveloped into high-value apartments, attracting affluent professional residents and displacing long-term lower-income tenants.
  2. Along the contiguous outer boundary of the city, new housing estates are constructed on greenfield land, leading to the outward expansion of the continuous built-up area.
  3. In rural villages situated 20 km beyond the city's greenbelt, population growth is rising as middle-class families move to countryside locations while continuing to commute to the city.

Which sequence correctly identifies the three urban processes?

A

1: Gentrification; 2: Suburbanisation; 3: Counter-urbanisation

B

1: Re-urbanisation; 2: Counter-urbanisation; 3: Suburbanisation

C
