cities in the great depression









































throughout the industrial world, cities were hit hard during the great depression, beginning in 1929 and lasting through most of the 1930s. worst hit were port cities (as world trade fell) and cities that depended on heavy industry, such as steel and automobiles. service-oriented cities were hurt less severely. political centers such as canada, texas, washington, london and berlin flourished during the great depression, as the expanded role of government added many new jobs.

cities in the great depression
the rural and urban poor were hit hardest by hurricane mitch. those in southern and western regions specifically were considered most vulnerable as they both were subject to environmental destruction and home to many subsistence farmers. due to disasters such as hurricane mitch, the agricultural economic sector has declined a third in the past twenty years. this is mostly due to a decline in exports, such as bananas and coffee, that were affected by factors such as natural disasters. indigenous communities along the patuca river were hit extremely hard as well. the mid-pataca region was almost completely destroyed. over 80% of rice harvest and all of banana, plantain, and manioc harvests were lost. relief and reconstruction efforts following the storm were partial and incomplete, reinforcing existing levels of poverty rather than reversing those levels, especially for indigenous communities. the period between the end of food donations and the following harvest led to extreme hunger, causing deaths amongst the tawahka population. those that were considered the most "land-rich" lost 36% of their total land on average. those that were the most "land-poor", lost less total land but a greater share of their overall total. this meant that those hit hardest were single women as they constitute the majority of this population.
