The relationship between place identity and community resilience: Evidence from local communities in Isfahan, Iran
Evaluating Conservation Easement and Land Records Data in Rapidly Growing Counties in the United States and the Implications for Environmental Governance
In the US, land records are fragmented and difficult to assemble. This paper details issues of access to land records from traditional land record institutions within US counties, focusing on conservation easements (CEs), CE geospatial data, and tax-assessment data. This paper also explores the issue of privacy related to CE land records and land trusts, the primary type of non-profit that holds CEs. Previous literature has cited landowner concer…
The role of the built environment, food prices and neighborhood poverty in fruit and vegetable consumption: An instrumental variable analysis of the moving to opportunity experiment
Built environment exposures of adults in the moving to opportunity experiment
This paper describes environmental exposures of adult participants in the Moving to Opportunity for Fair Housing (MTO) experiment over a four to seven year period from baseline to the interim evaluation. The MTO experiment randomized participants living in public housing or private assisted housing at baseline into experimental and control groups and provided a housing voucher for experimental group participants to move to neighborhoods with less…
Collective efficacy in disadvantaged neighborhoods: The influence of Habitat for Humanity
In this study, we examine neighborhood poverty and the problems with which it is associated. Much of housing policy is based on the assumption that poor people need more affluent people around them to solve these problems. We argue instead that individual motivation to better one’s life may have a larger impact on surrounding neighbors, especially if these individuals are similar in race and income. We investigate low-income neighborhoods charact…
Markets of sorrow, labors of faith: New Orleans in the wake of Katrina, by Vincanne Adams
Most social scientists would argue that natural disasters are not natural but rather nature’s forces colliding in a disastrous fashion with human systems, especially human settlements and their bui
Does planning theory affect practice, and if so, how
What Can We Learn from Empirical Studies of Planning Theory? A Comparative Case Analysis of Extant Literature
In 1995, Judith Innes recognized the increasing influence of a new type of planning theorist. Adverse to “armchair theorizing,” these theorists have taken a fine-grained analysis of planning practice as the basis for reconstruction of planning theory. Despite the proliferation of this theoretical project, its impact on urban planning has yet to be analyzed in a comprehensive manner. The major impetus for the research is to assess the ways that em…

An investigation of the time between mortgage default and foreclosure
This paper evaluates the speed at which lender's enter the mortgage foreclosure process, interpreting slower rates as evidence of forbearance. A telephone survey was conducted to evaluate the presence of lender discrimination in defaults that lead to foreclosure in New Orleans, Louisiana between 1985 and 1990. These data are used to estimate the independent effects of race and neighbourhood characteristics on the extent of lender assistance durin…
Residential Mortgage Foreclosure and Racial Transition in New Orleans
In this article, the authors explore residential mortgage foreclosure as a mechanism that links economic shocks and the process of racial transition (Lauria 1998). Their analysis indicates that housing foreclosures added momentum to an ongoing process of racial transition, net of the effects of exogenous economic shocks and such other variables as median income of residents, change in the value of owner-occupied housing, and the existing racial d…
Reconstructing Urban Regime Theory: Regulating Urban Politics in a Global Economy
Student Voice as Agency: Resistance and Accommodation in Inner-City Schools
In this article we describe the results of a comparative case study of two inner-city high schools located in the southeastern United States. One school, a citywide school with high admission standards, enrolls an all-African American lower-to-middle-class population. The other school enrolls a more ethnically and racially diverse population of students from a single lower-class neighborhood. Using Grossberg's notion of identity politics, we desc…

Communicative Action, Power, and Misinformation in a Site Selection Process
In large-scale economic development projects, less powerful groups absorb the majority of negative impacts. One reason is that communication between actors is distorted by misinformation. Forester's (1989) adaptation of Habermas' (1979, 1984) critical theory of communication is used to investigate the role of misinformation and power in the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal Lock site selection process in New Orleans The methods we apply incorporate…

Urban Regeneration and Public Housing in New Orleans
Public housing, if located proximate to the central business district or other valued development sites, is often seen as a threat to urban regeneration activities. Growth coalitions may develop strategies to remove the threat to increase the value of the land and probability of reinvestment. In cities with an African-American majority electorate, like New Orleans, the electoral coalition of the governing regime is inherently unstable and has to …
Identity Politics and Student Resistance to Inner-City Public Schooling
Investigating the conditions that foster organized expressions of power and the circumstances that students exploit to engage in political, collective forms of resistance warrants researchers' serious attention. Inner-city schools are uniquely situated as changing demographics and global and national migration continue to reconstruct schools as host sites of identity politics. In this article, the authors investigate the sites of inner-city schoo…
Urban Regimes and Racial Politics in New Orleans
This paper describes and analyzes the nature of the New Orleans urban regime focusing on the first term of Sidney Barthelemy, the second black mayor of New Orleans (1986–1990). First, because the authors believe that regime theory needs to be more carefully theorized in relation to racial politics, they begin by discussing the changing relationship of blacks to the prevailing New Orleans regime. Second, in analyzing this racial politics, they foc…
The transformation of local politics: Manufacturing Plant Closures and Governing Coalition Fragmentation
Gender Relations as a Particular Form of Social Relations
The Internal Transformation of Community-Controlled Implementation Organizations
Community-controlled implementation organizations are necessary to initiate redevelopment in many urban areas, but because of their dependency on external sources of capital they may be transformed into organizations that enhance the extraction of private profit rather than community reinvestment. Internal social and political processes may generate another transformation process with similar results. A contradiction may develop because the socia…

Toward an Analysis of the Role of Gay Communities in the Urban Renaissance
This paper provides a theoretical and methodological framework for a "social constructionist" analysis of the role of gay communities in the "urban renaissance." We suggest that this is important both because as a substantive area of research the role of gays in the "urban renaissance" has been neglected, and because it highlights the need to overcome the structure versus agency debate in social theory. Structuralists have tended to regard the ro…

The Implications of Marxian Rent Theory For Community-Controlled Redevelopment Strategies
Community-controlled implementation organizations are necessary to initiate the process of urban redevelopment in deterio rated low-income urban neighborhoods The Classical Economic Urban Redevelop ment Model includes a set of parallel development actors who compete to affect and control this redevelopment process A major component of this competition is the extraction and subsequent utilization of rent The purpose of this paper is to develop a t…
Selective Urban Redevelopment: A Political Economic Perspective
The theories of conventional economics (other urban social sciences) and political economics did not foresee the current selective urban redevelopment in our decaying central cities. Subsequently, neither group of theories has to date adequately incorporated an after-the-fact explanation that is consistent with their respective theoretical frameworks. It is the task of this paper to do so within the classical economic framework by extending Harve…
