    CRR #7 Observations: In the reading Our Town by Thornton Wilder I felt the feeling of being included in the audience because he gives us the layout at the beginning. Another detail that contributes to this feeling of being included is by having the stage manager speak directly to us. When he starts describing the town and how small it is it reminds me of Porterville and how nothing really happens there or here. I find it sad when the stage manager tells us about all the things Joe is going to accomplish but ends up dying in the war.…

    Because it is nearly 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long, the resulting H Street NE Strategic Development Plan divided H Street into 3 districts: the Urban Living district (between 2nd and 7th Streets NE), the Central Retail District (between 7th and 12th Streets NE), and the Arts and Entertainment District (between 12th and 15th Streets NE). In the mid-2000s, the Arts and Entertainment District began to revitalize as a nightlife district. The Atlas Theater, a Modern-style 1930s movie theater that had languished since the 1968 riots—was refurbished as a dance studio and performance space, and is now the anchor of what is now being called the Atlas District. H Street NE became home to the H Street Playhouse, a black-box theater where Theater Alliance and…

Many areas similar to Southern Boulevard had experience gentrification such as Williamsburg, while there are positives for an area experiencing gentrification there are negatives.

    In the global city of Washington, DC, gentrification related to affordable housing and social/racial tensions is becoming more and more prevalent. This, in turn, is affecting the future of the community and having adverse implications for the city’s old and new inhabitants. Gentrification is the practice of revitalizing or reforming a community to appeal to higher-class tastes, most often the tastes of the white middle-class. While gentrification is sometimes associated with increases in racial diversity and does not always lead to displacement, many researchers claim that it prices out long term-residents and brings about black-to-white racial change. Gentrifying neighborhoods typically experience reductions in the number of black residents;…

    William Whyte’s book The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces brought me relief. As a child, I remember asking some of the same questions he asked about city spaces, but wondered if anyone else bothered to think about seemingly trivial matters such as what made a place busy and how people are supposed to act in these busy places. Such questions are important for a child to come to terms with new surroundings, but is also important for city planners, as Whyte pointed out. The main question Whyte posed was what makes a city space successful, the main criterion of which was how much a space was used. In order to support his hypotheses, Whyte uses field observations obtained using cameras, in-person observations, and specific examples such as the Crystal Court of the IDS Center in Minneapolis.…

    Urban Community and Lifestyle Urban communities are well developed areas where there is a large density of people living. Often an urban area is the region around a city and primarily consists of commercial buildings, houses, motorways, bridges, and railroads. According to the United States Census Bureau in 2010 there was 249,253,271 people living in urban areas, which is eighty-one percent of the U.S. population (2010 Census Urban and Rural Classification and Urban Area Criteria, n.d.).
