Chinatown is open for business
Koreatown, Los Angeles
Revitalizing Chinatown for a new generation
Business improvement districts (BIDs) have become prominent but controversial tools for economic development and urban governance. While they have been praised for helping to revitalize economically depressed commercial areas, they also have been linked to concerns about gentrification, especially in smaller-scale urban neighborhoods. Drawing from ethnographic data on Los Angeles Chinatown, this article examines how BIDs may serve as a mechanism …

Drawing from in-depth interviews with inner city, male, young adult children of Latino immigrants in Los Angeles, we examine the extent to which they make sense of their criminalisation through a racial lens. We find the segregated urban context to be a place of paradox: one that marginalises and racialise…
