Roman Urban Decay

1. Roman Urban Decay By: Graham Hodges

2. What is Urban Decay? It is when a Building, or part a city, falls into despair depopulation etc. there are many reason why there might be Urban decay. • Centralization: demise of local authority-legionnaires were only loyal to their commanding officers • State financial crisis-inflection was taking control of government• Tyranny or autocracy-people keep over throwing the government• Feminism and the shortage of real men• Multiculturalism-with the expansion, they were getting a lot of cultures• Depopulation- a lot of soldiers are going to war, so the killing was lowing the population.Manyof the big buildings that the people loved were being destroyed because of the many civil wars.

3. Problem in Ancient rome There were a lot of things that were going wrong in the roman empire. Many of the communities were in troubles because the government was fighting to much and killing people which are dying and depopulation is a major cause to urban decay. Also because people were not using major builing, they were also decay

4. Problem Today We are in some sort of the same state. But our economy is a major problem. We are losing money to keep up the neighborhood. We are having a large crime rate in big cities. So the cities are having to pay more to the police force, so they start caring lees for the Neighborhood its self.

5. How I will solve it I would try not to expand because I would watch the population to make sure that it doesn't get to low or too high. Also I would prevent civil war because that causes people to fight and die, causing the population form getting to high of low.
