The Inner City – e.g. The Coin Street area of the South Bank, Waterloo London.
This is an inner city area which was very run down by the 1960s due to traditional industries, such as dockside warehouses, leaving the area and so many of the people followed. This left behind a derelict landscape and high unemployment with few facilities for those who did remain. The area was bought by the Coin Street Community Builders and it has since been regenerated.
