| Résumé anglais |
For many years, urban geographers wrote about the decentralisation of population within urban areas which resulted in the inner city having a declining number of residents and increasing poverty. More recently a counter movement has been noted in which middle class people return to the core area, a process often referred to as gentrification. This paper examines the trends in Manchester, an old industrial city which is still suffering from stagnation and decline. Population growth is being experienced in the city centre, in redeveloped docklands and in inner city areas close to the city centre which are being redeveloped for the second time. Older inner city areas, not adjacent to the city centre where there was rehabilitation rather than redevelopment are experiencing decline with house prices falling, properties becoming derelict and abandoned and increasing social problems.
