“…The "beggar-thy-neighbor" competition in the United States is therefore extreme (Anderson and Wassmer, 2000;Orfield, 2002;Rusk, 1999). Each jurisdiction has a strong incentive to adopt zoning and development policies that exclude potential low-income, high-need residents.…”

Economic Inequality and Public Policy: The Power of Place

2002

In recent decades two broad trends in American society have been well–documented: rising income inequality and rising segregation of economic classes across space in metropolitan areas. The thesis of this article is that rising economic segregation is both a cause of rising economic inequality and amplifies its effects in ways that do not showup in the income statistics. The article synthesizes the evidence on the contextual effects of economic segregation in three areas: 1) jobs and income; 2) public services; and 3) retail services. Economic segregation does not only undermine equal opportunity, it also damages American democracy. Although more research is needed on the effects of economic segregation, the evidence is more than sufficient to call for public action.

“…In the 1970s, the public housing program survived but other programs-especially Section 8-became the core components of low-income housing policy (Gotham and Wright 2000). In the 1980s and 1990s, federal resources for local economic development were reduced and local governments have been encouraged to be more self-reliant in forming strategic partnerships with the private sector and to compete with other cities to attract capital and jobs (Feagin 1988;Barnedov and Rich 1989;Anderson and Wassner 2000;Fisher and Peters 2000). At the beginning of the twenty-first century there is increasing interest among planners, policy makers, and government officials for developing new methods to revitalize cities and a search for new frameworks to guide economic growth and remedy the problems of uneven development.…”

Most scholarly efforts to understand the political economy of postwar urban redevelopment have typically viewed urban renewal and public housing as "housing" programs that originated with the "federal" government. Yet this view is problematic for two reasons. First, it fails to specify the key actors and organized interests, especially real estate officials and downtown business elites, in the programmatic design and implementation of urban renewal and public housing. Second, this view does not fully acknowledge the dislocating and segregative effects of urban renewal and public housing on central city neighborhoods and the role these private-public initiatives played in shaping demographic and population patterns in the postwar era. I draw upon archival data and newspaper articles, real estate industry documents, government reports, and interviews to examine the origin, local implementation, and segregative effects of urban renewal and public housing in Kansas City, Missouri. I explore the role of the ideology of privatism-the underlying commitment by the public sector to enhancing the growth and prosperity of private institutions-in shaping the postwar "system" of urban economic development in which urban renewal and public housing were formulated and implemented. Focusing on the interlocking nature of race and class, I identify the critical links between urban renewal and public housing, and the long-term impact of these programs on metropolitan development in the decades after World War II.

“…The SWOT Analysis mainly analyzes the strengths and weaknesses inside the system, as well as the opportunities and threats from the external environment to help the decision makers find out the best strategy, thus to maximize the strengths of the system itself and minimize the weaknesses of the system and threats from outside [12][13][14][15][16] . To implement SWOT analysis on the industrial development environment of Lu'an can make us have an objective understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the industrial development in Lu'an planning area, have a correct understanding of the opportunities and challenges Lu'an planning area faces now, thus to help it find the best way that is suitable for its own development.…”
