Description
Summary:In a demographic weakness context, the process of recent urban transformation of Segovia, throughout the last years appears conditionated by the changes that have occurred in the model of population distribution. At the time when the city centre is abandoned, which has lost its preeminent residencial functions, working-class districts, arisen by industrial development, have been abandoned too.
