The aim of this thesis is to explore the evolving relationship between neighborhood change and public housing in the historically black neighborhood of Rosewood in Austin, Texas. In October 2010, the Housing Authority of the City of Austin was awarded a grant to begin the process of redeveloping one of the nation's oldest federally funded public housing facilities - Rosewood Courts. As the once segregated public housing complex is slated for redevelopment, community members representing an assortment of interests have engaged in a series of heated exchanges and elevated discourse surrounding the legacy of public housing in Austin, Texas. At the same time, the Rosewood Neighborhood has witnessed a dramatic transformation in recent decades, losing much of its long-standing black community to an ever emergent gentrifying population. This research evaluates the relationship between neighborhood change and public housing (re)development, highlighting the position of Rosewood Courts within larger processes of policy and political economy transformation.

In 1964, English sociologist Ruth Glass coined the word “gentrification.” Within a few decades, the phenomenon this term described had become an issue in the United States. After the passing of the “urban crisis” of the 1960s and 70s, wealthier, whiter Americans began to want to live in the nation’s cities. As they began to move, the result was a rise in housing prices, leaving longtime residents—often minorities and/or those with lower incomes—with nowhere else to go. Austin, Texas is currently the fastest growing city in the United States. As such, it sits at the leading edge of the American gentrification crisis. This report will consider Austin’s history and the city’s policy responses in the context of the theoretical approaches to gentrification in the US. Considering the intellectual responses to gentrification, it begins with the nation’s seminal urbanist, Jane Jacobs. It was Jacobs’ response to urban renewal that set the tone for the revived appreciation of the American city. This thinking was reflected in the work of urbanists like Richard Florida and Edward Glaeser, who both emphasize the fact that gentrification is a form of economic development that brings positive as well as negative aspects. Opposed to this viewpoint is Peter Moskowitz, who argues that gentrification is a policy tool of an elite white political and economic class, designed to clear people of color from desired urban spaces. In Austin, both of these interpretations ring true. Explicit public policies relegated African- and Mexican-Americans to the east side of town throughout the nineteenth and much of the twentieth centuries, but it is market forces that are currently pushing them out of those same neighborhoods. Austin’s municipal authorities are aware of the gentrification problem, but many of its policy documents present the issue only through the lens of “affordability.” This report argues, however, that acting to keep housing prices down is a necessary but not sufficient condition for addressing displacement. The city must also direct itself to the legitimate claims of the specific people who have lost ties to the neighborhoods that are meaningful to them.

Gentrification is one of the most debilitating—and least understood—issues in American cities today. Scholars and community activists adjoin in Gentrification, Displacement, and Alternative Futures to engage directly and critically with the issue of gentrification and to address its impacts on marginalized, materially exploited, and displaced communities. Authors in this collection begin to unpack and explore the forces that underlie these significant changes in an area’s social character and spatial landscape. Central in their analyses is an emphasis on racial formations and class relations, as they each look to find the essence of the urban condition through processes of demographic change, economic restructuring, and gentrification. Their original findings locate gentrification within a carefully integrated theoretical and political framework and challenge readers to look critically at the present and future of gentrification studies. Gentrification, Displacement, and Alternative Futures is a vital read for scholars and researchers, as well as planners and organizers hoping to understand the contemporary changes happening in our urban areas.

Questioning Architectural Judgment written by Steven A. Moore and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-07-24 with Architecture categories.
The book shines light on the problem of judgment, particularly in the realm of architectural "technics" and the codes that regulate it. The struggle to define "sustainability," and thus judge architecture through such lenses, is but one dimension of the contemporary problem of judgment. By providing the reader with an inherently interdisciplinary study of a particular discipline—architecture, it brings to the topic lenses that challenge the too frequently unexamined assumptions of the discipline. By situating architecture within a broader cultural field and using case studies to dissect the issues discussed, the book emphasizes that it is not simply a matter of designing better, more efficient, or more stringent codes to guide place-making, but a matter of reconstructing the boundaries of the systems to be coded. The authors are winners of the EDRA Place-Research Award 2014 for their work on the Green Alley Demonstration Project used in the book.

Comprehensive and interdisciplinary, this collection explores the complex, and often problematic, ways in which the news media shapes perceptions of poverty. Editor Sandra L. Borden and a diverse collection of scholars and journalists question exactly how the news media can reinforce (or undermine) poverty and privilege. This book is divided into five parts that examine philosophical principles for reporting on poverty, the history and nature of poverty coverage, problematic representations of people experiencing poverty, poverty coverage as part of reporting on public policy and positive possibilities for poverty coverage. Each section provides an introduction to the topic, as well as a broad selection of essays illuminating key issues and a Q&A with a relevant journalist. Topics covered include news coverage of corporate philanthropy, structural bias in reporting, representations of the working poor, the moral demands of vulnerability and agency, community empowerment and citizen media. The book’s broad focus considers media and poverty at both the local and global levels with contributors from 16 countries. This is an ideal reference for students and scholars of media, communication and journalism who are studying topics involving the media and social justice, as well as journalists, activists and policy makers working in these areas.

Davidson and Martin, as well as contributors, chart new territory and produce thought-provoking research that move the field in a more critical direction" - Setha M. Low, The Graduate Center of the City University of New York "A critical analysis of power and politics is essential to an understanding of contemporary urbanism. Informative and challenging, clear and sophisticated, Urban Politics: Critical Approaches encourages readers to grapple with the great diversity of analytical lenses that frame urban political research through detailed, engaging case studies" - Eugene McCann, Simon Fraser University This critical, thought provoking discussion of contemporary urban politics places key issues in a geographical context.
