Book excerpt: The main purpose of the thesis is to analyze the Promise Zone's applicability and possible benefits to Over-the-Rhine and finally make a suggestion of how to apply the Promise Zone Designation to Over-the-Rhine. Over-the-Rhine is a historical urban neighborhood located in the city of Cincinnati. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this neighborhood is unfortunately marked by poverty, high crime rate, housing abandonment and homelessness. As a poverty concentrated historic area in a shrinking city (Cincinnati), Over-the-Rhine is losing its population and some of the historic buildings here are in danger. Many issues occurred, such as lack of economic investment, not enough preservation of historical buildings, lack of a sense of an integrated community, the perception of the area as being unsafe, etc. In that case, reinvigorating OTR is urgently in need. Though the local government and 3CDC have done a lot of work in OTR and it is blossoming gradually, there are still many other resources that could be taken advantage of. This thesis analyzes concentrated poverty, shrinking cities, historic preservation, federal projects and current situation of Over-the-Rhine in order to search for means to redevelop Over-The-Rhine community as well as to find a way to strike a balance between redeveloping OTR and protecting its historic buildings. The proposed solution is to integrate existing federal projects and historical preservation for reinvigorating Over-The-Rhine and get it out of poverty. After the analyses stated above, and the review of the previous Urban Promise Zones application from the City of Cincinnati, the recommended method is to apply Promise Zones designation to Over-the-Rhine.

Book excerpt: This paper argues that historic preservation, in addition to preserving sensory memories, must balance protecting heritage assets with urban center growth objectives to enable high-quality built environments and community sustainability. Preservationists, whether private enterprises or public bodies, must adopt preservation strategies joining the past, present and future of community development. Historic assets transcending their original purposes can be adaptively reused to be both useful and sustainable. Repurposing these assets triggers increased livability in urban centers. To optimize historic assets' sustainability, preservationists must partner with promoters in central business districts of sustainability and economic growth initiatives. Taking into account the larger significance of community cohesion and livability for all citizens, certain constraints upon historic designation, and broadened development opportunities for sensitive and sustainable preservation projects, must be infused into the community planning apparatuses within state and local governments. Without such constraints and opportunities, more listed structures in city centers ultimately will be lost because they simply are too decrepit or cost-ineffective to rehabilitate relative to their limited heritage significance. A community's livability is diminished when historic properties or sites are desecrated by natural causes or neglect of proper conservation techniques. These episodes create health and safety hazards for an urban center while thwarting revitalization. Such problems are most apparent in communities that are shrinking cities and are avoidable through various approaches discussed in the paper. As the fiftieth anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act approaches, I offer a specific agenda to integrate better historical assets' preservation with sustaining their host planet and re-energizing neighborhood contexts. Minimizing frequency of underutilized or neglected historic assets is possible by early utility and sustainability analyses in the designation-advocacy process. Alliances of public and private bodies will promote adaptive reuse of heritage properties, in the process maximizing their contribution to sustainable and high-demand urban centers.

Download or read book The Enduring Challenge of Concentrated Poverty in America written by David Erickson and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report--a joint effort of the Federal Reserve's Community Affairs function and the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program--examines the issue of concentrated poverty and profiles 16 high-poverty communities from across the country, including immigrant gateway, Native American, urban, and rural communities. Through these case studies, the report contributes to our understanding of the dynamics of poor people living in poor communities, and the policies that will be needed to bring both into the economic mainstream. It is not the intention of this publication to explain poverty causation. Instead, the goal is to add texture to our understanding of where and how concentrated poverty exists, by studying new areas and by interviewing local stakeholders, including residents, community leaders, and government representatives, to understand how concentrated poverty affects both individuals and communities. The report begins with "Concentrated Poverty in America: An Overview" (Alan Berube) and "Introduction to the Case Studies" (Carolina Reid). It then presents the following 16 case studies: (1) Fresno, California: the West Fresno neighborhood (Naomi Cytron); (2) Cleveland, Ohio: the Central neighborhood (Lisa Nelson); (3) Miami, Florida: the Little Haiti neighborhood (Ana Cruz-Taura and Jessica LeVeen Farr); (4) Martin County, Kentucky (Jeff Gatica); (5) Blackfeet Reservation, Montana (Sandy Gerber, Michael Grover, and Sue Woodrow); (6) Greenville, North Carolina: the West Greenville neighborhood (Carl Neel); (7) Atlantic City, New Jersey: the Bungalow Park/Marina District area (Harriet Newburger, John Wackes, Keith Rolland, and Anita Sands); (8) Austin, Texas: the East Austin neighborhood (Elizabeth Sobel); (9) McKinley County, New Mexico: Crownpoint (Steven Shepelwich and Roger Zalneraitis); (10) McDowell County, West Virginia (Courtney Anderson Mailey); (11) Albany, Georgia: the East Albany neighborhood (Jessica LeVeen Farr and Sibyl Slade); (12) El Paso, Texas: the Chamizal neighborhood (Roy Lopez); (13) Springfield, Massachusetts: Old Hill, Six Corners, and the South End neighborhoods (DeAnna Green); (14) Rochester, New York: the Northern Crescent neighborhoods (Alexandra Forter Sirota and Yazmin Osaki); (15) Holmes County, Mississippi (Ellen Eubank); and (16) Milwaukee, Wisconsin: the Northwest neighborhood (Jeremiah Boyle). Following these case studies is "Learning from Concentrated Poverty in America: A Synthesis of Themes from the Case Studies" (Alan Berube, David Erickson, and Carolina Reid). Appended to this report are: (A) References for Comparison Statistics Tables; (B) Literature Review: Federal Reserve System Poverty-Related Research; (C) References for Overview in Alphabetical Order (by First Author); and (D) Photo Credits. (Individual case studies contain tables, figures, and footnotes.).
