Addressing the Housing Crisis in London

shoreditchification

Shoreditchification

Shoreditchification is a term that was coined to described the gentrification that was happening in Shoreditch, London. The area was a work class neighborhood prior to the second World War, which afterwards suffered from the decline of the industrial market in London. It became an undesirable area that attracted the struggling artists in the late 20th century. This eventually attracted more mainstream businesses, which attracted the attention of real estate developers who properties and sold then at a much higher rate. Today, Shoreditch is one of the most expensive areas in London.

The Human Layer

Since the beginning of civilizations, humans have been mapping their surroundings in order to gain a better understanding of the world they live in. With Today’s new data technologies, different disciplines are able to integrate new information into the GIS (Geographic Information System) model in order to create a new perspective of our context, which will help disciplines study our culture and society in relation to space, time, and place. The future exploration of this new data integrated with the GIS model is the beginning of new era in our society that will be more connected with the spatial understandings in our daily lives.
