PROBLEM: Pero hay una resultante, un núcleo sólido que consiste en el paro, en la dimisión o en la retirada de los servicios públicos y en la desaparición de las pequeñas y medianas empresas, de las empresas comerciales etc. Desearía que el URBAN intentase dar respuesta a estas causas de la degradación urbana.

SOLUTION:
But there is a common factor, a hard core, comprising unemployment, the resignation or withdrawal of public services and the disappearance of small and medium-sized enterprises, both commercial and other kinds.
