![Page 17: House type and size Area Neighbours Age, ethnicity Recreational opportunities Local facilities Safety Others………](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5517312055034603568b5db0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The multiplier effect and the
spiral of decline
![Page 18: House type and size Area Neighbours Age, ethnicity Recreational opportunities Local facilities Safety Others………](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5517312055034603568b5db0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The multiplier effect is usually progressively positive.
Good housing stock……………leads to wealthy residents………………… leads to good schools …………………………leads to healthier happier and well educated children leads to………………………………………….. high end industry being attracted to the area which brings in more people…. which leads to more service industries and shops and schools to cater for them….
The Multiplier effect
![Page 19: House type and size Area Neighbours Age, ethnicity Recreational opportunities Local facilities Safety Others………](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5517312055034603568b5db0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
