Then, the URA’s Board of Directors could not muster a vote to green light the negoti- ations; a motion that was on the table to do just this died for lack of a second. It was a bit of an awkward moment for the agency, considering that Module is col- laborating on the project with the Pitts- burgh Housing Development Corporation (PHDC), a subsidiary of the URA.

The purpose of this project is to work with the Garfield community to determine how a “Green Zone” might support other community aspirations. The three phases of work include: 1. Assessment of existing conditions and information needed for a successful clean up of the area (Phase I); 2. Identification of options for potential reuse of the area including views, paths and other visible improvements (Phase II); and, finally, 3. Development of a vision and strategy package to help guide specific green infrastructure improvements. Bloomfield Garfield Corporation (BGC) and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) worked with community members to complete the first phase of the Green Zone project in spring 2015.

As a hub for interdisciplinary research and collaboration, UCSUR promotes a research agenda focused on the social, economic and health issues most relevant to our society. UCSUR maintains a permanent research infrastructure available to faculty and the community with the capacity to: (1) conduct all types of survey research, including complex web surveys; (2) carry out regional econometric modeling; (3) analyze qualitative data using state‐of‐the‐art computer methods, including web‐based studies; (4) obtain, format, and analyze spatial data; (5) acquire, manage, and analyze large secondary and administrative data sets including Census data; and (6) design and carry out descriptive, evaluation, and intervention studies. UCSUR plays a critical role in the development of new research projects through consultation with faculty investigators. The long‐term goals of UCSUR fall into three broad domains: (1) provide state‐of‐the‐art research and support services for investigators interested in interdisciplinary research in the behavioral, social, and clinical sciences; (2) develop nationally recognized research programs within the Center in a few selected areas; and (3) support the teaching mission of the University through graduate student, post‐ doctoral, and junior faculty mentoring, teaching courses on research methods in the social sciences, and providing research internships to undergraduate and graduate students.

  • Moved to Lawrenceville, and a Survey of Those Having Moved Away
    Executive Summary This study was conducted to provide community leaders with an understanding of the factors driving recent change in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. Two surveys were conducted: a survey of those who have recently moved to Lawrenceville, and a survey of those having moved away. The mail surveys were conducted by the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) at the University of Pittsburgh in the summer of 2011. New resident survey About 60 percent of new residents moved from a different address in the City of Pittsburgh, with an additional 20 percent coming from a Pittsburgh suburb. The most- common origin communities included Lawrenceville and other nearby neighborhoods in the East End. New Lawrenceville residents also looked for housing in Bloomfield, Shadyside, Friendship, Squirrel Hill, the South Side, and Highland Park. The most-popular reasons for moving to Lawrenceville included the cost of living, convenience to work, school, friends, or family, and a walkable business district. Many new residents become exposed to the neighborhood through community events or neighborhood institutions. Upper Lawrenceville was viewed differently by survey respondents in comparison to Lower and Central Lawrenceville. Just under half of new residents included Upper Lawrenceville in their housing search. o Those who excluded Upper Lawrenceville expressed concerns over safety, blight, and the more-distant and isolated location o Those that included Upper Lawrenceville in their search did so due to its affordability and a perception of the neighborhood as up-and-coming. Former resident survey Nearly half of the former residents responding to the survey moved to a Pittsburgh suburb and one-third stayed in the City.
