People in other sectors are undervalued because of concepts such as Google free buses which are only offered to Google employees. Such changes cause displacement and hardship among the poorer people in the city. .
2) Mexico City, Mexico – As artists and wealthy stores and labels occupy Mexico City, it is becoming more and more expensive for locals to live in the central business discrit area. There is also an increase in street art in Mexico on the walls to convey a variety of messages to the local and international population conveying political messages And they make walls and city places look better.
3) Lisbon, Portugal – Lisbon has become one of the most multicultural places to live in the world as it attracts more wealthy residents because of its international culture and laid-back attitude.
