vivienda por terciario

Spanish to English Other Management tools for risk prevention
Hello, please could you help me with this ?

Here is the context:
La localización de la población en el territorio está marcada por una tendencia que se ha generalizado en las grandes ciudades del mundo: crecimiento dinámico de la periferia de la ciudad y retroceso poblacional de las zonas centrales, debido al proceso de sustitución de actividades (vivienda por terciario), o a la obsolescencia de algunas áreas residenciales antiguas.

I was thinking "tertiary housing", but i don't know if that has a completely different meaning in Englis
:)

Thank you very much!

houses/dwelling for tertiary

El texto se refiere a que la gente deja de vivir en esa zona y es ocupada por comercios.
Si no queda claro, se podría poner algo como "houses/dwelling being replaced by tertiary sector"

Just referring to the process of neighborhoods changing--from housing to neighborhoods full of banks, travel agents, mechanics, and other representatives of the service industry.
