Toledo, OhioThe city I will be reviewing is Toledo, Ohio. Toledo has seen many changes since World War II. It thrived on the industry and grew from there. Of the many city models discussed in the book, the model that Toledo fits best into is the sector model. This essay will discuss in detail the physical, economic, social, and political problems and changes that Toledo has faced over the past fifty years. As noted above, I think Toledo best fits the sector city model described in the book. There is plenty of evidence to support this claim. One example is that there are (were) many manufacturing and light industrial industries centered in the city center. With all the good jobs based downtown, there was a need for mass housing around downtown. Over time, these housing areas became lower class housing and ethnic sectors emerged within these areas. If you look at the sector model in Figure 9.17 on page 258, this is the exact structure of Toledo. Right next to the central business district, the manufacturing industry stretches along the Maumee River. Around these two neighborhoods, the working-class housing area persists. In Toledo, the lower-class, left-leaning sector of manufacturing developed a large Hispanic population, isolated east of the river. Other lower-class areas to the right of the CBD refer to a majority black population, with whites scattered within the area. This created what is known as the "bad side of town" and upper class developments moved out of the city center. There is also a main street (Bancroft) which is a main road going in and out of the city center that leads straight through the lower class, through the middle class and into the middle of paper... ...the Sler's commitment to keep Jeep in Toledo and build another factory in Toledo. Toledo has changed a hundred times in the last fifty years. Although Toledo still makes up the majority of Lucas County and is still the fourth largest city in Ohio, its dominance has fallen much like many cities located in the Rust Belt nationally. Since almost everything except the city government has left the city center, this fits perfectly with the movement to the outskirts of the city to settle there. There has been no push toward gentrification in Toledo, since on one hand, downtown has no jobs to offer, and on the other hand, downtown neighborhoods simply aren't not adapted to the process of gentrification. Toledo, then, is just another of the dying cities in which downtown manufacturing has died and upper-class service suburbs have taken the wheel of the city's expansion..
