Reviving America's Forgotten Neighbourhoods Summary
| This book examines both successful and unsuccessful efforts at revitalizing low-income neighbourhoods and features case studies on a wide range of American cities. |
|
|
| "Reviving America's Forgotten Neighborhoods" brings a new angle to the urban redevelopment discussion by expanding the definition of successful revitalization beyond higher property values and income levels. In this important work, Elise Bright argues for a more holistic approach to measuring community development. In-depth case studies on a range of American cities-including Seattle, Milwaukee, the Twin Cities, Boston, and Pittsburgh-examine both successes and failures of inner city revitalization efforts.Drawing on field research and interviews with a variety of subject-city officials, planners, community activists, residents-Bright shows how factors such as communication between residents, shelter, and a feeling of safety can help save even the most devastated neighborhoods. |
