Description
Counter-urbanization is a process of people moving out of cities. Since 1950 when industrialization has slowed, this process started occurring in economically developed countries. Lead by pollution, crime and traffic congestion, urban areas had become unpleasant places to live.
The focus of this project is 'The City of London' district. Through natural urban development, most of the inhabitants moved to live in surrounding areas, by leaving this area for financial institutions. Nowadays The City is one of the most important world financial centers. Although at daytime there is a traffic of ±500’000 people, all the people move to their living areas and leave The City empty after working hours.
The aim of this project is to reveal how the problems of urban development cause depopulation of the modern city, by using images of empty city nightscape.

- ‘Counter-urbanisation’is a process by which people move out of urban centres. Since the decline of industrialization in the 1950s, this has started occurring more frequently in economically developed countries. Lead by a rise in pollution, crime and traffic congestion, urban areas were becoming increasingly unattractive places to live.
The project will focus on 'The City of London' district, also known as “The Square Mile”. Through progressive urban development, most of the inhabitants have been pushed out into surrounding areas, simultaneously leaving this area for financial institutions. Nowadays The City of London is one of the world’s most important financial centres. During the day over 500,000 people utilize the area, while in contrast, after working hours the people return to their living areas and leave The City empty.
The aim of this project is to use images of empty city night-scape to reveal how urban development causes depopulation of the modern city.
