> City expands and resident need cheap housing. The cheap housing is built near the industrial zone as that is how economic forces work.

In cities like Mobile, Alabama, the opposite is usually true[1]: people already lived in those areas, but companies (and local governments) don't consider their health sufficiently important. I'll leave it up to you to infer why that is.
