Concordia Discors

Bermondsey
Bermondsey’s present day socio-economic landscape has its basis in the 19th and early 20th century development of the riverside docks, and industries associated with it such as food processing. Associated with the post-second world war closure of the docks, parts of present day Bermondsey remain some of the most socio-economically deprived areas of London, juxtaposed with and in contrast to other parts of Bermondsey along the river that have seen up-market housing and commercial development.

Camberwell
While the Northern part of the neighbourhood has shared an industrial past with Bermondsey, Camberwell is today dominated by two big hospitals as well as smaller enterprises. Compared to surrounding neighbourhoods, there are fewer high street shops in Camberwell, but there is an important ‘night economy’, i.e. restaurants and clubs.

Józsefváros
Józsefváros can be divided into three parts which can be characterized with different functions.  The smallest part called “Palotanegyed” includes several remarkable buildings such as the National Museum. This area belongs to one of the most fashionable parts of Budapest with lots of tourists.  The second part, beyond Nagykörút has a worse reputation.  .  It is traditional craftsmens’ neighbourhood, which became a slum in the previous decades, is currently under re-development. The dilapidated parts housing stocks was demolished to make place for large office blocks and housing developments. The Corvin- Szigony project which is reported to the biggest urban renewal project in Central-Europe.  The third part called “Tisztviselőtelep” is a suburban area for higher status groups.

Kőbánya
Kőbánya (named after a limestone mine) has always been an industrial area and almost the entire area is full of unused industrial buildings.  Nowadays pharmaceutical industry and beer manufacturing are the leading industries of Kőbánya

Barriera di Milano
Barriera di Milano is a former industrial area.  Now industries have been moved out of the city and Barriera is mainly a residential neighbourhood. Small shops are very numerous.  There is a lack of leisure spaces and activities in the neighbourhood.

San Paolo-Cenisia
San Paolo is a former industrial area. It is characterised by a good functional mix and a balanced distribution of welfare services, meeting places and green spaces, residential settlements and commercial area (small shops and open markets)

Langwasser
Langwasser Nordwest and Langwasser Nordost are primarily residential areas, while Langwasser Südwest and Langwasser Südost include about 50 per cent of non-residential areas.

Werderau
Nearly all commercial functions in Werderau are located around Volckamer Platz – the centre of the housing development. The factory MAN, located in the neighbouring sector of Gibitzenhof has a particular relevance as an employer for large parts of the inhabitants of Werderau.

Gostenhof
GostenGostenhof consists primarily of housing areas.Small commercial areas are spread all across Gostenhof. Shops and restaurants/bars represent a mixture of long established ones, migrant-run, and newly opened ones with an alternative or artistic image.hof is located in the western region of the downtown belt; it directly borders the city centre in the Northeast. Gostenhof borders Tafelhof in the South and West and Bärenschanze and Himpfelshof in the Northwest. A motorway constitutes the southwestern borderline. The neighbouring sectors on the other side of the motorway are St. Leonhard and Sundersbühl.

Sagrada Familia
Sagrada Familia is a dormitory-residential area with the most visited tourist spot of Barcelona, the Sagrada Familia temple. It includes a commercial area, and the civic centre and other services attract residents from other neighbourhoods.

Poble Sec
Poble Sec is a residential area with some parts becoming a leisure and going out areas of the city. Montjuïc Mountain includes an Olympic area and several services for the whole city (theatres, playgrounds, etc.)

Bermondsey
There are major transport routes, both rail and road, through the area, mainly radiating out of central London into outer London and the counties of Kent and Surrey.  The building of the Jubilee underground line, opened in 1999, constituted a dramatic improvement of links to central London.

Camberwell
Camberwell’s landscape is dominated by the intersection of two major urban roads, one running north-south (the A215), the other east-west (A202).  These are slow-moving, heavily congested roads which are also the routes of several buses. A local railway station, situated centrally in Camberwell, links the area to two of the main London railway stations.

Józsefváros
Józsefváros has a highly developed public transport connection. By public transport it is easy to get to any places of the area.  The Grand Boulevard and Blaha Lujza Square are one of the busiest meeting points of Budapest. The Metro Line 2 has a station here, and the tram no. four and six as well which are the most busy tram lines of Budapest.

Kőbánya
Kőbánya is bounded by very busy trading routes. One of the most important roads is the road to the international airport with extremely heavy traffic. Kőbányai and Jászberényi roads are a heavy traffic roads as well, both of them are the routes of some buses. Kőbánya also has a railway station and several bus and tram lines which offers good connections to the city center.

Barriera di Milano
The hearthof Barriera di Milano is made up of narrow streets where commercial activities are concentrated, while large alleys prevail in the East area, characterised by residential settlements and welfare services. Whereas the public transports and road networks are well developed along the North-South axis connecting the neighbourhood  to the city centre, it is quite isolated from the neighbouring areas by urban barriers. Also the internal mobility by walking is not ease because of an urban fabric characterised by many infrastructure obstacles and of a web of small and trafficked streets in the older part, and oversized and quite deserted roads in the East area.

San Paolo-Cenisia
San Paolo is well connected with the city centre by road web and public transports. The heart of the neighbourhood is characterised by narrow streets and high density of commercial activities. In the ring around the neighbourhood hearth many factories were torn down and new houses, public services, cultural sites and offices facing large alleys were built

Langwasser
The four sectors of Langwasser are separated by two main streets which are basically forming the sector borders. The district connects directly to the motorway. Most areas within the district are easily reachable by public transportation: there are ten stops of the underground/tram  and 26 bus stops within Langwasser. In a 2007 survey 35 per cent of the population of Langwasser (together with the bordering district of Altenfurt) used public transportation on their way to work or to school.

Werderau
Werderau is located  directly at a motorway junction. A larger street divides the sector in a Northern and a Southern area. There are six bus stops within the sector but no underground or tram stop -The district consists primarily of housing areas, with a small commercial zone; a larger area of allotments and a small gardening area.

Gostenhof
Gostenhof directly connects to the motorway which represents the southern borderline. Three large streets represent the Eastern, Western and Northern borderline of the sector. The connection of Gostenhof to public transportation is well established: there are two stops of the underground/street car and five bus stops.

Sagrada Familia
Sagrada Família is densely populated. It is characterised by wide streets with a lot of car traffic since it is a passing-through area. Open and green spaces are lacking. It is well connected to the rest of the city by public transport (metro and bus).

Poble Sec
Poble Sec is a densely populated neighbourhood characterised by narrow streets. There is a lack of open and green spaces, but Montjuïc Mountain park is nearby. Car traffic within the neighbourhood is scarce, except for Paral·lel Avenue, which constitutes one of the borders. It is well connected to the rest of the city by public transport (but metro stations along Parallel Avenue only).

Bermondsey
Bermondsey is dominated by social housing of a variety of styles. Nearer the riverside, much of it is low-rise red brick housing built by the London County Council (LCC) in the wake of slum clearances between the wars. Along the riverside, a lot of social housing and industrial land has been converted into high price residential accommodation, mainly luxury apartments. Riverside accommodation tends to have better pedestrian links along well developed riverside paths to transport hubs and across the river into central London.

Camberwell
Housing in Camberwell is extremely diverse. It includes large Georgian townhouses, many formerly squatted or in multi-occupancy but brought back to owner-occupation in the housing boom that began in the late 1990s. There are also several smaller social housing estates, with a wide variety of styles including both interwar red brick LCC housing and concrete post-war high-rise and low-rise, and nineteenth century terraced street housing that remains un-gentrified.

Józsefváros
The image of Józsefváros shows a great heterogeneity. The buildings of the inner part preserved their aristocratic feature. Apartments built for the middle class are bigger here than the average of Budapest. The central part (Palotanegyed) includes several remarkable buildings such as museums and universities.  But the biggest part of Józsefváros consists of old and dilapidated buildings. Prices of flats are lower than the average of Budapest.  There are 9 homeless shelters in Józsefváros which determine its image strongly. Some neighbourhoods are currently under re-development. The dilapidated part of the housing stocks was partly demolished to make place for large office blocks and housing estates.

Kőbánya
Since this is one of the largest district of Budapest it is not surprising that all sorts of urban areas can be find in Kőbánya. However, the landscape is dominated by brown areas, deteriorating parks, and high rise (often 10-storey high) buildings (made of concrete blocks). . A constant effort of the Municipality is to change the industrial image of the area and encourage the immigration of young people with favourable housing and educational conditions.

Barriera di Milano
In Barriera di Milano the dismissed former industrial areas have been only partially converted, therefore urban blight is quite widespread. The housing stock is extremely heterogeneous. In the neighbourhood hearth the housing quality is low. In the East part, there are buildings constructed in the 1970s-1980s and a quite large social housing complex.  In the West part, dismissed industrial areas are being reconverted and new houses are being constructed. The Northern area is characterised by houses of higher quality

San Paolo-Cenisia
The heart of San Paolo is manly made up of old and cheaper houses. The ring around the neighbourhood hearth is made up of newer and good quality building. The two public housing settlements of the neighbourhood are quite small and located in Cenisia

Langwasser
Between 2005 and 2009, about 5,000 m² of flats (primarily consisting of five and more rooms) were built in Langwasser Nordost. Comparing the four sectors by the types of flats, we find more recently built flats (after 1991) mainly in Langwasser Nordost; the large majority of flats in the other three sectors were built between 1949 and 1990. Larger proportions of one– and two family houses are mainly located in Langwasser Nordost (18.3 per cent) and Langwasser Südwest (15.5 per cent), while in Langwasser Nordwest and Südost the large majority of flats are located in blocks of seven or more flats..

Werderau
The inhabited area of Werderau nearly exclusively consists of a housing development that was built over several construction periods (about 60 years) beginning in 1911 and consisting of about 1,260 housing units. The factory MAN, which was located in the bordering sector Gibitzenhof, initiated the construction with the purpose to provide housing for the workers and employees of MAN. The model for the design of the housing development was a garden city with rather rural structures. The proportions of the types of flats by the construction and the type of building reflect the history of Werderau: nearly all flats were built before 1990, about half of them before 1948, over one fifth of housing units are one-family houses and over one third is in blocks of three to six flats. The whole housing development was sold by MAN to a real estate company in 1998.. This resulted in a meaningful change of the composition of the population of Werderau.

Gostenhof
In the 19th century Gostenhof was a commercial and trading suburb with a dense population. Since the sector was hardly destroyed in WW II, the majority of buildings nowadays still originate from construction periods long before 1948. After WW II, Gostenhof developed into an area which was inhabited mainly by socially disadvantaged people and migrants due to low rents for rather old flats and an unattractive environment in the vicinity of downtown with hardly any green areas. About one third of the presently existing flats were built between 1949 and 1990.

Sagrada Familia
In Sagrada Família there are mostly tenements of up to six floors. In general, the apartments are of good quality, in some cases divided in smaller flats. They have been built, from the urbanisation of the neighbourhood in late 19th century-early 20th century to 1970s and 1980s. Some parts of the neighbourhood, especially the squares’ inner spaces, have been remodelled by building new gardens during the last decade thanks to Pla de Barris.

Poble Sec
Poble Sec is characterised by a mixture of different kind of housing stock. In the Northern part, touching Paral·lel Avenue, big blocks of flats of medium quality built during 1970s, and 198s prevail. In the central part, you find little blocks build in different periods, from the first half of the 20th century, mainly older than the first ones. In the higher part, on the side of Montjuiïc Mountain, there are more expensive flats, and also houses with gardens build during early 20th century. Some parts of the neighbourhood have been remodelled during the last decade with the Pla de Barris.

Bermondsey
There are a number of parks in different parts of Bermondsey, first and foremost Southwark Park on the border of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe. The Blue is the traditional hub of southern Bermondsey, providing both a meeting place and shopping opportunities. There is also a library on The Blue. There are also a couple of recently refurbished youth centres, and many housing estates have their own tenants and residents halls. There are no cinemas in Bermondsey.

Camberwell
There are a couple of parks on the edges of Camberwell, and there is a small, centrally located library, but no cinema, and the local bingo hall closed two years ago. The number of churches, many West African, has increased, and the Camberwell Baths reopened in 2011. Many housing estates have their own tenants and residents hall.

Józsefváros
There are several meeting and entertainment places situated in Józsefváros.  Palotanegyed is full of hotels, restaurants and bars whereas in the other parts of Józsefváros there are mostly cheaper bars situated.

Kőbánya
In Kőbánya  people mostly work and sleep. There is a lack of meeting places and entertainment possibilities.   Although it has large public greens these spaces are mostly the surfaces of old and unused industry yards (brown areas).

Barriera di Milano
In Barriera di Milano there is a lack of meeting spaces and premises for non profit organisations and cultural and recreation activities. Also open-air meeting places are inadequate (green per resident is a little more than 1.5 metre square against the over 20 metre square of the city average). Moreover, the use of the public spaces seems to be further hampered by the sense of insecurity which arises from widespread presence of drug sellers and users.

San Paolo-Cenisia
In San Paolo meeting places are evenly distributed since they are located both in the newly constructed areas (where meeting centres and cultural sites have been built) and in the older heart of the neighbourhood

Langwasser
In Langwasser there is quite a number of cultural and recreational facilities:a library, a museum, a cultural centre, a swim bad and an ice skating hall. For young people, there are seven youth recreational centres.

Werderau
In  Werderau there are a youth centre and two playgrounds.

Gostenhof
In Gostenhof there is number of meeting places but hardly any green areas. For young people there are two youth recreation centres. A centre of particular relevance for the district and the wider region is the Neighbourhood Centre (Nachbarschaftshaus Gostenhof) – a centre for meetings and activities of a large variety of groups and associations. Over 100 different groups are registered as users of this centre.

Sagrada Familia
In Sagrada Família there is a lack of meeting spaces (especially outdoors), only partially solved with the aperture of some (indoor) resources like Espai 210. Although there are not a lot of cinemas and theatres within the neighbourhood, its good connections and central situation allow to have a quickly access to these kind of services.

Poble Sec
Parallel Avenue, one of the borders of Poble Sec, has been historically one of the main areas in Barcelona to see theatre and cinema. Recently, there have been Barcelona city council policies aiming to revive that leisure spirit, but the economic crisis is a challenge to that.

Bermondsey
There are local primary and secondary schools (up to 16 years). Medical services are provided in different parts of the neighbourhood, as well as a Citizen’s Advice Bureau. The local police station, located on the boundary between Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, was closed down in late 2011.

Camberwell
There are local primary and secondary schools (up to 16 years). Medical services can be accessed throughout the neighbourhood, as well as a Citizen’s Advice Bureau. The Camberwell police station is located centrally, near Camberwell Green.

Józsefváros
There are several nurseries, day  care nurseries, elementary schools, high schools, and there are several faculties of universities. Because of the relatively high proportion of immigrants, some day care nurseries have a special “rainbow programs” for these children.

Kőbánya
Kőbánya  is well facilitated by day care nurseries, nurseries, and high schools as well.

Barriera di Milano
Social services and schools (especially nurseries) are underweighted if we consider that Barriera di Milano has a very density of population and a share of poor families and young people higher than the city average. Furthermore, welfare services are unevenly distributed and mainly located in the East part, which is not easy to reach because of problems of internal mobility.

San Paolo-Cenisia
Nurseries and high schools are particularly concentrated in San Paolo-, while  primary and middle schools are more numerous in the areas around the neighbourhood. Also health units and social services seem to be adequate.

Langwasser
The structures for child care and education include in the pre-primary sector three child care centres for one to three year olds, nine centres for three to six year olds (or until school entry), and five centres for all pre-primary age groups. In the primary and secondary education sector there are six primary (Grundschulen) and lower secondary schools (Hauptschulen), two higher secondary schools (Gymnasien), and one school for special needs (Sonder- und Förderschule). Moreover, there are six after-school centres and one school for vocational training (Berufs- und Fachschule).

Werderau
The structures of education and child care include four pre-primary centres, one day nursery and one primary school.

Gostenhof
The structures of education and child care in Gostenhof include two nursery schools, five pre-primary centres, four day nurseries and one school for special needs.

Sagrada Familia
There is a perceived lack of public equipment in the neighbourhood (especially spaces and resources for young people and children, and places for elder people) and there are frequent mobilizations on those issues.

Poble Sec
There is a lack of public equipment in the neighbourhood (especially spaces and resources for young people and children, places for elder people, and an adult school). The health centre and the library are too small for the needs of the neighbourhood.

Bermondsey
Most local shops are relatively small, and suffering under the competition from superstores situated immediately outside the neighbourhood. The Blue used to hold a big, open market, but there are only a few stalls left today.

Camberwell
Local shops are generally small and, compared to surrounding neighbourhoods, less dominated by high street chains. In particular Camberwell Green is characterised by a plethora of small, ethnically very diverse, usually family-run businesses, in particular within catering, sale of food produce (in particular from West Africa), hairdressers and beauty parlours. The nearest open market is the East Street market, located to the north of the neighbourhood.

Józsefváros
Except of Palotanegyed the district is historically a trademan neighbourhood. Népszínház Street is full of small shops several of them are owned by immigrants. The Four Tigers Market is a unique area (almost like a Chinatown). In the gentrificated areas there are large malls (Corvin plaza, Arena plaza).

Kőbánya
Some open markets and a Chinese market exist at Kőbánya. One of the largest malls of Budapest (Árkád) is situated in Kőbánya as well.

Barriera di Milano
Barriera di Milano is characterised by an high incidence of construction workplaces and small business, mainly commercial. Nevertheless, economic activities are declining since 2009 as consequence of the economic crisis and part of traditional small shops and crafting activities are closing and partially substituted by ethnic business. The only relevant open market of the neighbourhood is the one located in piazza Foroni.

San Paolo-Cenisia
San Paolo is rich in small shops and open markets. It hosts the second biggest open market of the city which runs from South to North for 2 kilometres.

Langwasser
Between 2005 and 2009, about 25,000 m² of commercial and industrial buildings were built in Langwasser Südwest. A large shopping mall – the Franken-Center – is located in Langwasser Nordwest, a weekly market is situated in Langwasser Südost. All sectors, except for Langwasser Nordost, have large industrial and commercial areas which are located in the middle of Langwasser along the sector borders.

Werderau
Nearly all commercial functions in Werderau are located around Volckamer Platz – the centre of the described housing development.

Gostenhof
Small commercial areas are spread all across Gostenhof. Shops and restaurants/bars represent a mixture of long established ones, migrant-run, and newly opened ones with an alternative or artistic image. The area surrounding the Plärrer within Gostenhof is an example of a change of a neighbourhood in the course of the increase of the migrant population, which manifests in the commercial structure: the once German-native-run stores and gastronomic facilities of that neighbourhood are now nearly exclusively run by people with a Turkish background. Thus, the Plärrer area has become a central place for people with Turkish decent in the wider area.

Sagrada Familia
There is a big concentration of tourist shops, bars and restaurants around the Sagrada Família temple. Some of them owned by foreigners, especially Chinese, Pakistanis and some Latin-American. Permanent market of food and an important open market in the South-East part of the neighbourhood every Saturday.

Poble Sec
In Poble Sec there are small businesses, and quite a lot of grocery shops owned by Pakistanis. There are also a variety of shops owned by Latin Americans. Blai Street is lived up by bars and restaurants with terraces which have been opened during the last decade (this is a pedestrian street nicknamed as ‘Rambla del Poble Sec’).

Bermondsey
In Bermondsey up to the 1970s, Irish immigrants, working in the docklands, were the most significant minority group. Significant groups of non-European immigrants only started settling from the 1980s. By 2001, the biggest minority population was Black Africans, but over the past 10 years, the number of Eastern Europeans has also increased.

Camberwell
Immigration to Camberwell goes back several centuries. Huguenots from France and immigrants from Germany settled and often became part of the more well-to-do population of Camberwell. After WW2, Commonwealth immigrants, in particularfrom the Caribbean and Cyprus, settled here. More recent immigrants have derived from in particular West Africa, Somalia, and Eastern Europe. As in Bermondsey, Black Africans constituted the biggest minority population in 2001.

Józsefváros
Before the transition in the 1990ies only Greek immigrants lived in a rather closed compound in the Józsefváros and were replaced in the early 1990ies by Chinese, Vietnamese and later African immigrants.

Kőbánya
The situation is the same as that of Józsefváros. Before the transition Greek were the only foreigner living in the district. They have been replaced in the early 1990ies by Chinese, Vietnamese and later African immigrants.

Barriera di Milano
The first immigrants came to Barriera di Milano from the province of Turin and from the rest of the Region at the end of the XIXth century. The first big increase in immigration  however took place during the economic boom of the late 1950s and 1960s, with large inflows from Southern Italy and substantial transfers from other city areas induced by the increasing demand of labour force in factories and the fast housing expansion. From 1979 the resident population started to decrease as a consequence of the demographic and economic decline, although inflows from foreign countries. From 2001 the population began growing again due to international immigration.

San Paolo-Cenisia
At the beginning of the century people arrived from Southern Italy and rural zones of the Region. During the economic boom of 1950s-60s, flows from Southern Italy and the Centre-North countryside increased rapidly. In the 70s, two parallel phenomena occurred: the deindustrialization and the stop of internal migration, and the beginning of international migration.

Langwasser
Langwasser as an inhabited area is a relatively new district. After World War II it was home to many refugees and unhoused. Temporary housing areas were turned into permanent housing developments. The main groups moving to Langwasser within that process originated from the former Soviet Union and primarily  were of German origin. The number of foreigners in the sectors of Langwasser slightly grew between 2004 and 2009. The proportion of foreigners in the different neighbourhoods of the Langwasser sectors changed differently during that time: while especially in some neighbourhoods of Langwasser Südost the proportion of foreigners increased, in some neighbourhoods of Langwasser Nordost and Südwest, the proportions decreased.

Werderau
The history of internal and foreign immigration in Werderau is strongly connected with the process of the formation of the housing development: Immigration in the years commencing the beginning of the construction of the housing development in 1911, and meaningful numbers of foreign migrants especially after World War II within the guest worker program. A change of the composition of the population took place in the years commencing the sell of housing units to private owners in 1998 with new internal as well as foreign migrants moving into Werderau. From 2004 to 2009 the proportion of the foreign population increased in all areas of Werderau.

Gostenhof
The history of internal and foreign migration into Gostenhof is strongly connected with the development of the quarter. The traditional workers quarter remained an attractive residential area for low income natives as well as foreigners. In the course of increased renovation measures within the last ten years, the sector also attracted artists and alternative boutiques. The mixture of different milieus and different ethnic influences as well as the location close to the city centre represents an attraction for some people. Between 2004 and 2009 there was a decrease of the high proportion of foreigners in most parts of Gostenhof.  65 per cent of migrants arrived within the last five to ten years.

Sagrada Familia
The internal migration into the territories of today’s Sagrada Familia was seen already in the 19th century. In those days the quarters name was “El Poblet” and it hosted mainly rural immigrants. Apart from Catalan immigrants, there were some workers from the following regions of Spain: Valencia, Andalusia, Aragon, Murcia and Galicia. Although, at the beginning of the 20th century immigration slowed down, it grew up again with the second International Exposition of 1929. During this time, blocks of flats began to replace small houses and there was a general improvement of infrastructure that paved the way to inflows of petit-bourgeoisie to the quarter. During that time, the social classes to be found in Sagrada Familia were: petit-bourgeoisie, middle-classes (professionals, traders, officials) and semi-skilled workers. During this time there were in the quarter immigrants from other parts of Catalonia, but also from Valencia, Murcia, Baleares, Andalusia, Castile, Extremadura, Aragon, Canaries, North Africa (former Spanish settlers) and some foreigners.

Poble Sec
Poble Sec has received population from all the different migratory waves settled in Barcelona during the last century. Apart from the internal rural-urban Catalan migration movements to Barcelona metropolitan region, during the twentieth century there were two periods of large internal immigration growth: From 1916 to 1930 industrial expansion and public works needed workers who arrived basically from geographically close areas within Spain. From the 1950s to early 1975s the mass immigration into Barcelona region was from more distant Spanish regions (largely to work in industry).In late 1990s and early 2000s, it starts another inflow composed by international immigrants, mainly from Morocco, a variety of Latin American countries and Asian countries like Pakistan and China.

Bermondsey
Overall a highly diverse profile, as there are immigrants/minorities living in both the more affluent and the more deprived parts of Bermondsey. Furthermore, most shopkeepers in Bermondsey are of immigrant/ethnic minority background.

Camberwell
As Camberwell has been an immigrant destination for a long time, many well-established minorities have lived here for 2-3 generations, with very diverse employment and livelihood profiles. Like in Bermondsey, most shopkeepers in Camberwell are of immigrant/ethnic minority background.

Józsefváros
The primary reason for which most immigrants come to Józsefváros is the proximity of the Four Tigers market. Either they work at the area of the market or operate a shop or a restaurant in the district.  Most of them work in the field of commerce, and they are believed to be richer than the average locals in Józsefváros.

Kőbánya
Since the Four Tigers Market is situated on the border of Józsefváros and Kőbánya immigrants living in Kőbánya mostly work in the area of the market in the field of commerce.

Barriera di Milano
Foreign immigrant families move to Barriera di Milano especially after family reunion and in correspondence with the first house purchase due to low housing prices in this area. Single migrants co-housing and buildings completely inhabited by foreigners coming from the same geographical area are however concentrated in the oldest part of the quarter. The quarter is also attracting foreigners who run small businesses.

San Paolo-Cenisia
Immigrants move to San Paolo-Cenisia mainly as a result of family reunifications. The presence of Latin American single women employed in the domestic work or care work and well integrated, has always been significant. They are now reuniting their children who face on the contrary  integration difficulties

Langwasser
The proportion of foreigners among the total population of Langwasser is relatively low, compared to the city average. The major group of migrants in Langwasser originates from the former Soviet Union. The profile of migrants in Langwasser is as diverse as of the whole population of the quarter; there are quite a number of workers and shop keepers. Some parts of the quarter, especially multi-store buildings, are inhabited by high proportions of migrant families.

Werderau
Compared to the city average, the proportion of migrants in Werderau is high. Due to the long history of foreign migrants in Werderau, there are large proportions of decedents of early migrants in the quarter; they originate mainly from Turkey and Italy.  Similar to all residents of the quarter, most migrants in Werderau are members of the working-class. In former times, all of them used to be MAN-factory workers. Nowadays MAN is not the only but the prevalent employer of Werderau’s residents – migrants as well as natives. With the sale of housing units, many migrants had the chance to acquire housing property for reasonable prices in Werderau.

Gostenhof
Gostenhof is among the districts with the highest proportions of foreigners in Nürnberg. Migrants with a Turkish origin used to be the dominating migrant group. The pattern still exists but the quarter has been developing into a more multicultural quarter. Other relevant groups are migrants from other EU countries and from African countries   Among migrants in Gostenhof, there are considerable numbers of shop keepers, as well as workers and blue-collar employees.

Sagrada Familia
Latin American (especially women) care workers are important part of the quarters’ landscape. The Chinese traders (mostly families) run a lot of shops, bars and restaurants in the quarter. Some Pakistani and Latin American grocery stores can be found. There is also a number of high skilled workers (singles and families), mostly EU citizens and Latin Americans. Some social tensions have risen as a consequence of Latin American young people who spend spare time in the streets and squares and some Eastern European homeless (single men) in Sagrada Familia square.

Poble Sec
Although the difficulty in defining the immigrants’ profile in Poble Sec, it can be said that women (mostly Latin Americans) work mainly in domestic services, while men (especially Moroccan) are concentrated in construction or related activities. Pakistanis usually run little food shops, but also cyber-cafes, employing other Pakistanis. The jobs related to services like restaurants and hotels are quite wide spread among third country nationals.
