Urban development report

This is generally a very (1) poor area. In common with other relatively poor (2) areas near the city centre, much of the housing is substandard. A large number (approximately 25%) of homes in the area are unoccupied, having been declared unfit for (3) people to live in. At least half of these are (4) going to be pulled down. Residents report a very poor quality of life, many complaining of (5) actions that are harmful to the community, especially among the area’s youth. Much of this behavior is attributed by police to (6) the drinking of beer, wine, etc. by young people. The area appears very run down, with graffiti and (7) paths covered with paper, etc. the norm. This is an area badly in need of redevelopment.

Broadly speaking, these are our recommendations for the regeneration of this area. The priority must be the replacement of the old and inadequate (8) supply of houses with good-quality (9) houses that are not expensive, suitable for (10) families who don’t receive much money. Priority must also be given to the establishment of (11) things such as community centres, green areas and swimming pools that improve life for people in the area that will help to foster a (12) feeling of loyalty to the people that you live near in the area. Better and more visible (13) equipment for collecting bottles, paper, etc. so that it can be used again must also be provided to deal with the litter problem.
