  • Revitalizing Phoenix's Inner-Ring Suburbs
    In: Urban Planning and Renewal ISBN: 978-1-53612-419-4 Editor: Maddison Wolfe © 2017 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 4 REVITALIZING PHOENIX’S INNER-RING SUBURBS Carlos J. L. Balsas* Department of Geography and Planning, University at Albany, Albany, NY, US ABSTRACT The Phoenix metropolitan area was greatly affected by the 2007- 2008 global financial crisis. The growth rates experienced in previous decades were substantially reduced and although the impacts were felt in many societal areas, they were especially severe in the real estate sector. Many cities and towns experienced high foreclosure rates and depressed property values. Phoenix implemented a major effort to revitalize its downtown area while several inner and outer suburbs were deprived of resources and political attention, and had to rely on existing networks and community dynamism to execute their neighborhood revitalization projects. This chapter utilizes a conceptual mechanism of place, non- place and placelessness to discuss some of the most recent transformations in three Phoenix’s inner-ring suburbs: Maryvale, East Van Buren, and South Phoenix.

The history of the South Phoenix corridor along the Salt River, generally south of the railroad tracks, is a story of many different people carving out an existence for themselves and their families and persisting despite many extreme challenges. Its historical challenges include extreme poverty in an area that offered primarily low-wage agricultural and some industrial jobs; regional indifference and often hostile racist attitudes that restricted economic opportunities; unregulated land use and relatively late city annexation of a predominantly minority district; lack of investments in housing stock and Figure 1 – Colorful wall mural separating the Spaces of basic infrastructure; and industrialization that engendered Opportunity Farm Park from residential homes.

  • Central Ave Corridor Summary
    CCENTRALENTRAL AAVENUEVENUE CCORRIDORORRIDOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY CITY OF PHOENIX PHOENIX C OMMUNITY ALLIANCE V ALLEY SUMMARY REPORT METRO R AIL Introduction Situated in the center of the Greater Phoenix region, the Central Avenue Corridor is a major employment center that features the highest concentration of office space in the metropolitan area. In 2004, construction of a regional light rail transit (LRT) system that will serve the Corridor is scheduled to begin. The planned LRT system creates an opportunity to alter and strategically plan new commercial and residential development in the corridor,while creating a unique and vibrant live,work and play environment. On September 19, 2002, the City of Phoenix, the Phoenix Community Alliance and Valley Metro Rail held a day-long Central Avenue Corridor workshop for community leaders and real estate professionals to: • Examine development patterns and recent trends in the Corridor; • Understand the current, intermediate and long-term market challenges within the Corridor; and • Consider how light rail transit will affect future development in the Central Avenue Corridor. The workshop participants included property owners, private and institutional investors, developers, brokers, community leaders and design firms. For purposes of the workshop, the Central Avenue Corridor was defined as the area generally bounded by Camelback Road to the North, Van Buren Street to the South, 3rd Street to the East and 3rd Avenue to the West (the "Corridor"). As a follow-up to the workshop, the City and the Phoenix Community Alliance along with EDAW conducted a design exercise in the spring of 2003 to further develop, define and illustrate the mixed-use/transit oriented development concepts that were discussed at the workshop.
