Urban Fabric
Thank You all for your replies! ![]()
This time I will show you some of Rock-Creek's extensive inner city. Built largely during the industrial boom
in the late 19th and early 20th century, it has been in decay for many decades.

Though these Italianate style row-homes are still home to a vibrant community, many sit boarded up or as empty shells.

Crime is a serious problem in many of these neighborhoods, particularly because of recent police budget cuts.

Once home to large, architecturally magnificent commercial districts, large areas have now been rebuilt into modern shopping centers.

Nearby, a steel factory spews smoke in the midst of a rare period of full production. The evening shift received their two week notices a few days ago.
