Lawyered Up: Local Communities, Courts, And Urban Renewal, Madeline Spolin
Lawyered Up: Local Communities, Courts, And Urban Renewal, Madeline Spolin
Sociology Honors Projects
What is the role of the judicial system in solving issues of urban renewal? I propose that communities use courts as a redress to become part of the decision making process on urban renewal issues, because courts provide procedural issues that are easily open to challenge in federal statute. I analyze public statements made throughout the construction of the Green Line in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, a federally funded urban renewal project. In spite of built in public consultation processes, changes to transit design do not occur when concerns are raised at public consultation meetings; instead, they come from …

Dispersion Or Re-Segregation: A Spatial And Temporal Analysis Of Public Policies And Their Impact On Urban African American Mobility, Brandi Lynette Blessett
Theses and Dissertations in Urban Studies
This study seeks to test Hirsch's second ghetto thesis in the city of Baltimore, Maryland. Hirsch suggested that the role of government, public policies, and administrative discretion were responsible for the re-segregation of African Americans into second ghetto communities in Chicago. Many scholars have used Hirsch's framework to explain ghetto formation. This investigation seeks to extend the literature in several ways. First, several national policies were investigated to determine their impact on African American mobility in Baltimore: the Housing Act of 1937 (public housing), the Housing Act of 1949 (urban renewal), and the Interstate Highway Act of 1956 (transportation). Second, …

School Desegregation And Urban Renewal In Norfolk, 1950-1959, Forrest R. (Hap) White
Theses and Dissertations in Urban Services - Urban Education
Although a number of scholars have examined the impact that the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision had upon local school policies, there is a paucity of research on what repercussions that decision may have had upon a broad range of other related municipal issues. This historical case study explores the effect that opposition to court ordered school integration had upon the placement of school buildings and urban renewal projects in one Southern city, Norfolk, Virginia, where there was strong reason to believe that the municipal powers of school plant planning, redevelopment, and city planning were deliberately …
Community Organization, Participation, And Interaction In Renewal Areas Of Detroit, Clarence C. White
Community Organization, Participation, And Interaction In Renewal Areas Of Detroit, Clarence C. White
Wayne State University Theses
This study attempts to examine community group relationships as manifested in the intersection of organized community groups actively involved in, and being themselves affected by urban renewal activities within two Detroit neighborhoods. Basic to this examination is the necessity for understanding the various organizational units making up the community groups commonly found in renewal activities and their functions within such development programs. Background is provided for adequate understanding of such groups by outlining how and under what circumstances community organizations are formed, the effect of their orientation and point of view on inter-group cooperation and the factors that shape community …
