Restaurant work in the globalizing ethnic enclave: Examining conditions and wages in Los Angeles' Koreatown
Skeptics, progressives, and adoptees: The constituencies of public transit and their perceptions of place along the Los Angeles Purple Line
Whether pursuing high-speed rail, light-rail transportation, or bus, transit agencies must invest in transit infrastructure that significantly alters the built environment. Resident responses to new transit vary. Some will be more hesitant out of concerns that it will drastically change their neighborhood and worsen their quality of life. Others may worry about its displacement impacts. However, one's sense of place and perception of their neighb…
From parochial to policy advocate: Examining policy advocacy among neighborhood councils in Los Angeles

Place Branding and Its Discontents: The Politics and Management of Neighborhood Governance Systems
Since the 1990s, urban planners in the United States have developed systems of neighborhood governance as a way to better involve citizens in decision making. Simultaneously, place branding emerged as an economic development strategy employed by local, municipal, and regional organizations. While often discussed as an elite-controlled game, little attention has been paid to the role of residents in branding their own communities. This study inves…

In today’s postindustrial economy, the extent to which cities and neighborhoods can develop and promote their cultural assets has become a key strategy for maintaining competitiveness by attracting tourism, investment, and job and population growth. These cultural modes of urban development fit the logic of the urban growth machine, in that they foster ideologies of place to encourage investment and enhance the profitability of the local economic…
The view from the salad bowl: Community place attachment in multiethnic Los Angeles
Whose Culture, Whose Neighborhood? Fostering and Resisting Neighborhood Change in the Multiethnic Enclave
As multiculturalism has become a valued aspect of the city, ethnic enclaves have taken on new economic power in the cultural economy. However, as Western cities become increasingly diverse, multiple ethnic communities often overlap in shared urban spaces. Employing ethnographic methods, this article examines Wilshire Center, Los Angeles, to better understand how multiethnic communities perceive of and experience the culture of their community and…
Skid Row, Gallery Row and the space in between: Cultural revitalisation and its impacts on two Los Angeles neighbourhoods
As a means for neighbourhood improvement, cultural urban revitalisation seeks to draw business growth and investment by attracting a creative class of young urban professionals. Though criticisms abound that these strategies benefit the wealthy and displace low-income communities, there is little research focusing on how the efforts of social actors can shape or resist this process. The purpose of this study is to offer a micro-level look at the …
