Inner city

Inner city Manchester, England, 2007

In the United Kingdom the term "inner city" has been used as a euphemism for lower-income residential districts in the city center and nearby areas.[1] Sociologists sometimes turn this euphemism into a formal designation, applying the term "inner city" to such residential areas, rather than to geographically more central commercial districts. Some inner city areas of American cities have undergone gentrification, especially since the 1990s.[2]
