Course Details

Neighborhood revitalization is about people as much if not more than it is about place, buildings and infrastructure. The focus on people raises multiple, complicated and interrelated questions: What are the necessary systems to support maximum development of residents’ human potential? How to ensure that current residents, or people of similar socio-economic backgrounds, remain in the neighborhood into the future and benefit from long-awaited improvements? How, as the redevelopment process unfolds, can we create tangible benefits for low-income, low-wealth residents? What are the elements of a comprehensive approach? Who are the potential partners? How can we braid different resources and institutions into a unified response? This course draws from separate disciplines and reviews a range of strategies to develop integrated, comprehensive solutions to transform distressed neighborhoods into places of opportunity. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, course participants will also learn to assess who benefits from the revitalization process and develop techniques for promoting equitable development in their neighborhoods.
