Deliberative spaces and permanent affordable housing
Bringing permanent affordable housing and community control to scale
Pro-Growth Ethos Mediated by Race
YIMBY proponents typically demand deregulating zoning to allow for increasing housing density through pro-development market-oriented means. Their insistence is guided by the assumption that an increase in housing supply will result in lower housing prices and, subsequently, more affordable housing units. We contend that even without zoning, market speculation in land, not housing supply, determines the future of affordable housing. Moreover, a p…
America the beautiful and violent
The recent national uprising, led by the Black Lives Matter movement, calls for defunding the police, structural change, an end to racial antagonism, and greater social justice. All of this makes A
We want to do it differently”
This case study describes the beginning stages of community mobilization in highly market-driven Houston, Texas, and the gentrifying Northern Third Ward, one of the city’s oldest African American communities. The primary question is how can residents mobilize and resist gentrification in places with an extraordinarily weak community development tradition? Drawing on ethnographic research, the case study illuminates mobilization as an important fi…
Deepening stewardship
Community land trusts (CLTs) are gaining ground as a model that effectively creates community control of property for permanently affordable housing and community development. Resident engagement, however, is crucial for the success of CLTs. In this study, we examine six well-established CLTs to gain an understanding of how their resident engagement practices reproduce stewardship that challenges the conventional private market approach to proper…
After Katrina
Significant scholarly attention has focused on rebuilding New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The Gulf coast of several Alabama and Mississippi communities have received comparatively less attention. We seek to narrow this gap. The theoretical premise of this article is that the neoliberal framework for governance in the Gulf Coast region, principally those states hardest hit by Hurricanes Katrina—including Louisiana, Mississippi, and A…
A Participatory Planning Approach to Enhancing a Historically Black University–Community Partnership
Little is known about the involvement of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in university–community partnerships. This article describes the planning process in a partnership, named the e-City Initiative, between Jackson State University and its surrounding community. The article highlights the role of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning faculty in facilitating greater participation and decision-making of e-City inhabi…
Limitations of community development partnerships
Unequal Partnerships
Community Foundations
This article provides case studies of the role of three community foundations in facilitating the establishment of community development collaboratives to galvanize support for local community development corporations (CDCs): the Cleveland Foundation, the Dade Community Foundation, and the Greater New Orleans Foundation. Sentiments about community foundation support or influence upon CDC activity captured from person-to-person interviews with CDC…
