dc.description.abstract |
Much of the current attention on mixed-income housing can be attributed to the
high-profile redevelopment of public housing over the last twenty years. The HOPE VI
program awarded urban revitalization grants to address the social goals of alleviating
poverty and creating inclusive communities within market goals for redevelopment.
This translated into the redevelopment of public housing into mixed-income housing
that produces physical and management improvements as well as social and community
services to address resident needs. In its efforts to create physical improvements for
physically distressed public housing, the HOPE VI program enlisted New Urbanist
design principles to support diverse, authentic communities. While the definition of this
is unclear in practice, 'positive gentrification' efforts shared by the redevelopment goals
of the HOPE VI program, clearly stipulate that functional as well as social mixing of
income groups is essential in creating inclusive and tolerant communities. Therefore,
this study investigates how design supports social mixing in the shared spaces of two
HOPE VI projects in order to investigate the role of design in producing integrated
mixed-income communities. In the context of this study, integration is measured by qualitative indicators of social mix in relation to space. Analysis of these qualitative
indicators reveals patterns in use supported by consistent design choices. Design factors
that support and threaten integration are extracted from this analysis and a discussion of
these factors as they relate to non-architecture variables and new models for urban
revitalization follows. |
