Arlington began to develop commercially during the 1960. This is when Roslyn and Cristal City began to develop and redevelop and become more commercial. Office buildings, car dealerships, hotels, and high rise apartments were built. The development of these more urban areas increased even more when the metro rail system was built between the late 1970s and mid 1980s. The Arlington County government had worked to keep moderate- income housing in these urban areas and low density commercial areas. The police division in Arlington also improved during the 1960s, they created better training education for them.
