111 residents of an inner-city suburb of Sydney were asked to list the advantages and disadvantages of the area and whether they intended to stay or move. Current theories on inner-cityareas maintain that the working-class residents have a strong
affectual attachment to the inner-city and its way of life. The results of the survey suggest that these theories do not correspond with the attitudes of the inner-city working-class resident.

Evidence is presented of recovery in the inner-suburban terrace housing submarket, and what began as counter-cyclical investment in Australia. This latest phase of residential revitalization in the innercity heralds a trend to higher-value, high

Origin and persistence of an inner-city slum in Nassau
Slum formation in the filtering model is postulated on socioeconomic change in a neighborhood: a group of residents is replaced by another of lower socioeconomic status. The result is deterioration. Over-the-Hill, an inner-city slum in Nassau
, Bahamas, provides evidence that slums in Third World cities may develop in ways not indicated by this model. Over-the-Hill originated as a segregated suburb on the periphery of the white areas of Nassau during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Three competing hypotheses (impoverishment, élite and persistence) are examined with respect to changing income distributions between within Canadian metropolitan areas and their innercities from 1950 to 1985. While innercity-suburban contrasts
continue to grow in most cities, in a few places these contrasts are overwhelmed by internal diversity and by new clusters of poverty and wealth. The ecology of income is more complex and variable than can be predicted.
