And richer and poorer neigbourhoods tend to be mixed.<br />If you mention any of the districts beyond the end of the tram-line to people from the inner city and you look into empty faces.Klaus Gerkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364552750137989056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-79539783664934556862019-06-29T23:00:35.136+08:002019-06-29T23:00:35.136+08:00Interesting.

Don't let that put you off! There's some really interesting stuff there!<br /><br />You might take a look at Merlin Coverley's brief introduction. I've got some issues with it but it remains the most comprehensive one I've seen. I also recommend Tina Richardson's edited volume, "Walking Inside Out" which articles with a diverse range of topics.<br /><br />(FWIW, there's even a brief bit on it in KARTAS: http://www.kenandrobintalkaboutstuff.com/index.php/tag/psychogeography/ )David Haraldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04226110545192539855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-85340857190821668162019-06-26T17:12:09.896+08:002019-06-26T17:12:09.896+08:00Yes - although also in Birkenhead (the town in whi...Yes - although also in Birkenhead (the town in which Noctorum is notionally situated) there is an area known as Rock Park which is an oasis of very wealthy homes in an extremely rough area, and in that case you find the opposite case - it's almost impossible to get into Rock Park because it is hived off from the squalour around it by roads and railway lines. noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-47180069075557295642019-06-26T04:20:17.099+08:002019-06-26T04:20:17.099+08:00Where I grew up, in Lübeck, there's the poor q...Where I grew up, in Lübeck, there's the poor quarter of the city, which I guess is not that bad and transitions into more wealthier areas without visible borders, and the piss poor quarter. That part of the city is separated from the rest by a river on one side and by train tracks on another. Now there's a new highway that completes the total enclosure of the area. Now you can get in and out only by bridges and tunnels. I think everyone who has anything to do with urban geography would only have to take a look at the map and immediately know where the poorest people are living.<br /><br />It probably wasn't intended that way, but once the train tracks had been build, it was inevitable that this would become the poorest area of the city.
