Read the extract, then answer the question. When Helsinki's city planners first proposed turning a disused railway yard into a mixed-use neighbourhood, critics called the idea "optimistic fiction." Ten years later, the district hosts co-working spaces, a food market and more than two thousand residents—yet rents have climbed so steeply that many of the artists who first popularised the area can no longer afford to stay. What is the main tension the writer highlights?

Urban regeneration brought vitality but also displaced the community that helped create it. The railway yard was never suitable for residential use. Planners deliberately set out to exclude artists from the start. The food market alone caused rents to rise.

Correct Answer:

Urban regeneration brought vitality but also displaced the community that helped create it.
