    For this study, I have analysed the various socio-economic phenomena within the neighbourhood of Rock Bay Victoria. My initial impression of the site was that it it was primarily industrial and operated mostly as a place of employment rather than residence. Although my first impressions were accurate to a large extent, upon further research I discovered that the area consisted of a far greater variety of elements. For instance, due to deindustrialization, the area is currently in a state of transformation from heavy industry, such as steel and gravel production, to advanced technology and green enterprise.

    Henderson’s newspaper article on homelessness in New York City begins with an abstract that is pithy and informative.
