Detroit’s Urban Revival: The Influence of Lower Class Socioeconomic Groups on Detroit’s Urban Revitalization Master Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the Degree Master of Science in Sustainable Development, Management, and Policy Submitted to: Dr. Sabine Sedlacek Witness: Dr. Christian Weismayer Davis Gibbs 1643001 MODUL University Vienna, 18th of June 2018 Affidavit I hereby affirm that this Master’s Thesis represents my own written work and that I have used no sources and aids other than those indicated. All passages quoted from publications or paraphrased from these sources are properly cited and attributed. The thesis was not submitted in the same or in a substantially similar version, not even partially, to another examination board and was not published elsewhere. Date Signature 2 Abstract Researchers and urban development experts alike have studied the causes and symptoms of urban decay and yet the conditions in Detroit have improved very little. Revitalization efforts often fail due to misguided strategies and policies that are implemented by weak leadership. Poor social and economic conditions are the driving forces behind urban decay in Detroit. In order to reverse the decay trend, revitalization strategies and policies have been directed to alleviate these adverse conditions. Many factors contribute to urban decay, making it difficult to develop appropriate revitalization strategies. Prior conducted research of Detroit evaluates urban development based on economic growth and does little to consider social factors, hence the focus on educational attainment and employment. Known by many urban development experts as a barrier to the region’s ongoing development, Detroit’s leadership must combat the local symptoms of urban decay so that upward social mobility of Detroit’s lower socioeconomic classes can occur, benefitting the revitalization process. This report successfully examines the relationship between lower class socioeconomic Detroiters and the influence that this class has on Detroit’s revitalization process. The resulting statistical analysis supports the literature and establishes a linear flow of variables and relationships that has an outcome of a mutually beneficial relationship existing between Detroit’s lower class and the revitalization process, supporting urban development experts and local politicians. 3 Acknowledgments I would like to thank Alex Venzin and Austin Kilroy, both experts in their fields for methodological support. Alex Venzin for the statistical approach and Mr. Kilroy for helping establish the scope of the research. Additionally, Ivan Nimac for the same support and for helping communicate between the United States and here. I would also like to thank Dr. Sabine Sedlacek and Dr. Christian Weismayer. Dr. Sedlacek was more than helpful in her continuous support, from beginning to end. Without her support this report could not have been conducted in such a manner. Dr. Weismayer provided statistical support that proved vital when determining the best statistical approach to address the overall research question. The support between the two faculties was instrumental and necessary to complete this report. I would like to send the upmost of thanks to my parents, Lyn and Russell, who made my educational opportunity in Vienna possible. They have been supportive of me from the very beginning of my academic career and so without them, this report would not have been possible. 4 Table of Contents AFFIDAVIT ........................................................................................................................................................................... 2 ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................................................ 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...................................................................................................................................................... 4 LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................................................................................ 8 LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................................................................................. 9 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS .............................................................................................................................................. 10 1.

    Fuori Le Mura: the Productive Compartmentaliztion of the Megalopolis

    Fuori le Mura: The productive compartmentaliztion of the megalopolis Joshua Stein Woodbury University Fuori le Mura is a radical speculative proposal provoking inquiry into right- sizing the contemporary megalopolis. Through a size comparison of vari- ous urban configurations with strictly defined perimeter boundaries, from the Italian city-state to the urban growth boundaries exemplified in con- temporary cities like Portland, OR, a cohesive urban identity and scale is The Walled City defined. Could “walled” mega-enclaves (scaled to match the ideal city size Medieval Siena’s wall operates as more than a simple fortification against the outside of Portland) create manageable urban nodes with a territory of free experi- world. Instead it fosters a complex negotiation between the extra-urban activities still very much networked to those inside the walls. mentation replacing suburbia. Fuori le Mura—Outside the Walls—is a proposal for Los Angeles that draws a dividing line between two complementary modes of living, rein- stating the historical concept of Urbs vs. Rure. No longer prolonging the corrosive dynamic between City and Suburb, where the suburb is simul- taneously culturally subservient to the city and parasitic in its consump- tion of resources, Fuori le Mura instead proposes two different modes of sustainable development and resource management that operate in par- allel. Outside the walls the ultimate fantasy of “no government” prevails— the obvious repercussions being the lack of infrastructure or utilities. The only dictates outside the walls are proscriptive: no impact/no emissions. Beyond this anything is possible. Within the walls infrastructure and utili- ties are heavily regulated, providing inhabitants with easy, prescriptive models for sustainable living.

All who live in Massachusetts are familiar with the compact city of Boston, yet the history of the larger, sprawling metropolitan area has rarely been approached as a comprehensive whole. As one reviewer writes, “Comprehensive and readable, James O’Connell’s account takes care to orient the reader in what is often a disorienting landscape.” Another describes the book as a “riveting history of one of the nation’s most livable places—and a roadmap for how to keep it that way.” James O’Connell, the author, is intimately familiar with his topic through his work as a planner at the National Park Service, Northeast Region, in Boston.

    G. Skoll & M. Korstanje – The Role of Art in two Neighborhoods Cultural Anthropology 81-103 The Role of Art in Two Neighborhoods and Responses to Urban Decay and Gentrification Geoffrey R. Skoll1 and Maximiliano Korstanje2 Abstract One of the most troubling aspects of cultural studies, is the lack of comparative cases to expand the horizons of micro-sociology. Based on this, the present paper explores the effects of gentrification in two neighborhoods, Riverwest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA and Abasto in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Each neighborhood had diverse dynamics and experienced substantial changes in the urban design. In the former arts played a pivotal role in configuring an instrument of resistance, in the latter one, arts accompanied the expansion of capital pressing some ethnic minorities to abandon their homes. What is important to discuss seems to be the conditions where in one or another case arts take one or another path. While Riverwest has never been commoditized as a tourist-product, Abasto was indeed recycled, packaged and consumed to an international demand strongly interested in Tango music and Carlos Gardel biography. There, tourism served as an instrument of indoctrination that made serious asymmetries among Abasto neighbors, engendering social divisions and tensions which were conducive to real estate speculation and great financial investors. The concept of patrimony and heritage are placed under the lens of scrutiny in this investigation. Key Words: Abasto, Riverwest, Gentrification, Patrimonialization, Discrimination, Tourism. Riverwest: How Artistic Work Makes the Moral Bonds of a Community Social studies of art offer illuminating perspectives on art’s roles in societies, how social conditions affect art, and how the arts affect and reflect social conditions.
  • Satellite Towns

    Satellite Towns

    24 Satellite Towns Introduction 'Satellite town' was a term used in the year immediately after the World War I as an alternative to Garden City. It subsequently developed a much wider meaning to include any town that is closely related to or dependent on a larger city. The first specific usage of the word ‘satellite town’ was in 1915 by G.R. Taylor in ‘ Satellite Cities’ referring to towns around Chicago, St. Louis and other American cities where industries had escaped congestion and crafted manufacturer’s town in the surrounding area. The new town is planned and built to serve a particular local industry, or as a dormitory or overspill town for people who work in and nearby metropolis. Satellite Town, can also be defined as a town which is self contained and limited in size, built in the vicinity of a large town or city and houses and employs those who otherwise create a demand for expansion of the existing settlement, but dependent on the parent city to some extent for population and major services. A distinction is made between a consumer satellite (essentially a dormitory suburb with few facilities) and a production satellite (with a capacity for commercial, industrial and other production distinct from that of the parent town, so a new town) town or satellite city is a concept of urban planning and referring to a small or medium-sized city that is near a large metropolis, but predates that metropolis suburban expansion and is atleast partially independent from that metropolis economically. CITIES, URBANISATION AND URBAN SYSTEMS 414 Satellite and Dormitory Towns The suburb of an urban centre where due to locational advantage the residential, industrial and educational centres are developed are known as "satellite or dormitory towns." It has a benefit of providing clean environment and spacious ground for residential and industrial expansion.

    Prohibition's Proving Ground: Automobile Culture and Dry

    PROHIBITION’S PROVING GROUND: AUTOMOBILE CULTURE AND DRY ENFORCEMENT ON THE TOLEDO-DETROIT-WINDSOR CORRIDOR, 1913-1933 Joseph Boggs A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2019 Committee: Michael Brooks, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso © 2019 Joseph Boggs All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael Brooks, Advisor The rapid rise of an automobile culture in the 1910s and 20s provided ordinary North Americans greater mobility, freedom, privacy, and economic opportunity. Simultaneously, the United States and Canada witnessed a surge in “dry” sentiments and laws, culminating in the passage of the 18th Amendment and various provincial acts that precluded the outright sale of alcohol to the public. In turn, enforcement of prohibition legislation became more problematic due to society’s quick embracing of the automobile and bootleggers’ willingness to utilize cars for their illegal endeavors. By closely examining the Toledo-Detroit-Windsor corridor—a region known both for its motorcar culture and rum-running reputation—during the time period of 1913-1933, it is evident why prohibition failed in this area. Dry enforcers and government officials, frequently engaging in controversial policing tactics when confronting suspected motorists, could not overcome the distinct advantages that automobiles afforded to entrepreneurial bootleggers and the organized networks of criminals who exploited the transnational nature of the region. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER I.

    i THE MULTICULTURAL MEGALOPOLIS: AFRICAN-AMERICAN SUBJECTIVITY AND IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY HARLEM FICTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Shamika Ann Mitchell May 2012 Examining Committee Members: Joyce A. Joyce, Ph.D., Advisory Chair, Department of English Sheldon R. Brivic, Ph.D., Department of English Roland L. Williams, Ph.D., Department of English Maureen Honey, Ph.D., Department of English, University of Nebraska-Lincoln ii © Copyright 2012 by Shamika Ann Mitchell iii ABSTRACT The central aim of this study is to explore what I term urban ethnic subjectivity, that is, the subjectivity of ethnic urbanites. Of all the ethnic groups in the United States, the majority of African Americans had their origins in the rural countryside, but they later migrated to cities. Although urban living had its advantages, it was soon realized that it did not resolve the matters of institutional racism, discrimination and poverty. As a result, the subjectivity of urban African Americans is uniquely influenced by their cosmopolitan identities. New York City‘s ethnic community of Harlem continues to function as the geographic center of African-American urban culture. This study examines how six post-World War II novels ― Sapphire‘s PUSH, Julian Mayfield‘s The Hit, Brian Keith Jackson‘s The Queen of Harlem, Charles Wright‘s The Wig, Toni Morrison‘s Jazz and Louise Meriwether‘s Daddy Was a Number Runner ― address the issues of race, identity, individuality and community within Harlem and the megalopolis of New York City. Further, this study investigates concepts of urbanism, blackness, ethnicity and subjectivity as they relate to the characters‘ identities and self- perceptions.

Knight Foundation, we believe that informed and engaged communities are essential to a well-functioning, representative democracy. This mission is guided by our support for free expression, journalistic excellence, civic engagement, and equitable, inclusive and participa- tory communities. It is built upon the vision of our founders, John S. and James L. Knight, newspaper publishers who were deeply committed to presenting the full, actual, contextual truth in service to their communities. It is with our mission in mind that the Knight Foundation is pleased to support Detroit Future City’s publication of 139 Square Miles. Nearly five years ago, Detroit Future City was born out of a process that engaged more than 160,000 Detroiters to create a 50-year vision for the city’s future. The resulting Detroit Strategic Framework, released in 2013, was crafted with a tremendous amount of data and research on the state of Detroit and the prospects ahead. Now, at a time of continuing transformation for Detroit, it is important to explore a new snapshot of the city’s progress and ongoing challenges. Detroit Future City has endeavored here to present the truth about the realities facing our city today. All Detroiters deserve to be empowered with information that is open, accessible and verifiable. To effect change, residents, policymakers, journalists, civic leaders, business owners, and activists need to work together using a common set of facts.
