In many cities, neighbourhoods once known (0) FOR a single local tradition have gradually been transformed by newcomers arriving from different regions or countries. Far from weakening a city’s identity, this process often adds (1) .......... its complexity and vitality.\n\nNew arrivals do not simply adapt to the places they move to; they also leave their mark (2) .......... them. Markets begin to sell unfamiliar ingredients, festivals gain new forms of expression, and everyday speech absorbs words from other languages. In time, customs that were once seen as foreign may come to be regarded (3) .......... part of the city’s character.\n\nAt the same time, migration can create tension, particularly (4) .......... resources are limited or when long-established residents feel excluded from change. Yet historians point out that many traditions now considered deeply urban were themselves introduced (5) .......... earlier waves of migration.\n\nWhat matters most, perhaps, is whether a city is able to create conditions (6) .......... which different communities can meet, work and participate equally. Urban culture is rarely fixed; it develops (7) .......... constant contact, negotiation and exchange.
