In geography what does inner city mean?

Inner city is the Orwellian name progressives give to "ghetto." And since liberals/progressives -- whatever they call themselves -- populate the major media, "inner city" proliferates the general media, but not in the street. There, of course, it's more like "hood" or ghetto. The reason these Orwellian do-gooders feel it's imperative to use inner city over ghetto is that they don't want to "stigmatize" black folk who predominate the ghetto, err, inner city.


What does inner city mean?

To understand phrases, break the phrase into each word. A city is a large area of population. New York City is an example of a very large city with a large population. Inner means toward the middle, inside, not on the outer edges. The outer edges of a city turn into suburbs, which have more room between dwellings. More over-crowding and higher crime rates are more associated with inner city areas. So "inner city" means areas of a city that are toward the middle, with a high population, often over-crowding and crime.
