evidence base for 'positive gentrification’. She believes that although the new middle classes' desire for diversity and difference, they tend to self-segregate. “Gentrification is part of an aggressive, revanchist ideology designed to retake the inner city for the middle classes” (Lee, p.1, 2008). Lee highlights a major critic of gentrification, the displacement of the lower-class. Although this displacement may be true, with the closure of the General Motors the previous basis of Elizabeth’s…

This week at city experience has been packed full with lots of amazing visits to places all around Melbourne. The work load has also been very full on, but it has come together and now looks much better than I expected it to. I don’t think that I really have a favourite place as I enjoyed most of the outings we went on. I also liked the interview as I found out things that I didn't know before. I think that the main message from the interview that I got was that to help people without a home,…

Industrialization Sweeps the Nation The Industrialization period was a big turning point for the United States. Throughout the Industrialization period many different things occurred. Urbanization became popular due to more jobs being offered in the city. The population of rural areas went down, while the urban population began to increase. Immigrants began to come at a heavy flow because the other countries had heard about the great things happening to America. The immigrants wanted a new life…

In the run for the mayor of Detroit, MI in…

Gentrification is a controversial topic where the urban areas have been affected in. It is the term used for the upper-class men to arrive in what they believe is a degenerating area and take over by buying and increasing rent and property values, which affects the low-income families and small businesses. My classmates and I were assigned to go investigate small shops that were in process of gentrification in the documentary “My Brooklyn” by Kelly Anderson and interview them on what is like to…

neon lights. Nature was slightly more subdued; somewhat monochromatic, yet varied in understated tones of grey, brown, and green. Color is hard to come by, now, with the exception of flame and blood. Rampant fires and firestorms consumed forests and cities long ago, and everyday continue to demolish what was once taken for granted. From the fall of ashes and soot, the world is grey, and waterways are black. Remnants of hydrangeas, wild orchids, and daisies stand brittle in what were once great…

During the time period in which reconstruction from the Civil War has passed, cities are growing by the millions. Immigrants are flooding to America and to the highly available factories for a chance at working in the midst of new industries and technologies. Job opportunity was just waiting for the millions of people looking to settle in the cities. While these large areas are becoming even larger, America is changing in big ways. In the late 1800s, America will grow and transform into a…

For my observation exercise I decided to look at a four-way intersection that connects campus and off campus. In my Community Development and Planning graduate class, we discussed the importance of understanding physical and symbolic boundaries (i.e. edges) of a space, as a way to comprehend a location. A road can be both a physical edge as well as a symbolic one, as is the intersection of Downing Street and Florence Street. The road is an obvious edge, or boundary for both cars and pedestrians…

Since nearly every building was constructed of the local, timber, the fire spread too fast to extinguish. Even though the fire was ruinous, Seattle emerged from the ashes stronger than before. The city was rebuilt in brick and stone which inherently stimulated the economy, providing thousands of new jobs. It was just a few years later that gold was discovered in Canada and the steamship Portland traveling between its hometown and the gold docked…
