“…Low-and working-class voices are often absent in research on neighborhood change 13,118 , but listening to those directly impacted can help develop deeper understandings of neighborhood SES ascent processes, advance epidemiologic research by identifying complex causal processes, and shape policies to better address community needs 119,120 . No included studies applied a Participatory Action Research (PAR), or Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) framing, though these and other forms of participatory epidemiology offer frameworks for inclusion [121][122][123] .…”

Despite a proliferation of research on neighborhood effects on health, how neighborhood economic development, in the form of gentrification, affects health and well-being in the U.S. is poorly understood, and no systematic assessment of the potential health impacts has been conducted. Further, we know little about whether health impacts differ for residents of neighborhoods undergoing gentrification versus urban development, or other forms of neighborhood socioeconomic ascent. We followed current guidelines for systematic reviews and present data on the study characteristics of the twenty-two empirical articles that met our inclusion criteria and were published on associations between gentrification, and similar but differently termed processes (e.g., urban regeneration, urban development, neighborhood upgrading), and health published between 2000 and 2018. Our results show that impacts on health vary by outcome assessed, exposure measurement, the larger context specific determinants of neighborhood change, and analysis decisions including which reference and treatment groups to examine. Studies of the health impacts of gentrification, urban development, and urban regeneration describe similar processes, and synthesis and comparison of their results helps bridge differing theoretical approaches to this emerging research. Our article helps to inform the debate on the impacts of gentrification and urban development for health and suggests that these neighborhood change processes likely have both detrimental and beneficial effects on health. Given the influence of place on health and the trend of increasing gentrification and urban development in many American cities, we discuss how future research can approach understanding and researching the impacts of these processes for population health.

“…The CIT model of civil engagement offers one framework that could integrate data collection and relationship-building (Kim & Ball-Rokeach, 2006; See Figure 1). Using CIT, interested parties identify “types of local media, community organizations, and interpersonal networks most conducive to the generation and sharing of information about particular aspects of the community” (Villanueva et al, 2017, p. 478). CMS administrators and teachers would spend time within their local community’s integrated storytelling network (depicted in the center box), listening to how children and adults talk about their community and hearing stories they tell about the CMS.…”

Mission-driven nonprofit organizations sometimes struggle within a cycle of disempowerment resulting from oversaturation of data collection that is reactive to funder demands. In this article, we problematize Community Music School (CMS) data-collection and analysis efforts and discuss alternate approaches to learning about family and community desires and building community engagement. We first review literature on CMS goals, CMS engagement with communities, and the importance of student voice in educational research. Then, we briefly describe secondary analysis of a data subset from a previous study as context for critical discussion. Finally, drawing on literature from communications, urban planning, and school-family engagement, we make broader suggestions for how CMS can transform data collection practices into pathways for community engagement. We assert data quality and usefulness may improve when institutions seek input from community members who have not elected to participate and when CMS involve stakeholders in program design, goal setting, and measurement schemes from the outset. To that end, we describe three frameworks that could help CMS improve community engagement and make suggestions for future research.

“…The possibilities were exciting because you had helped steer the grant writing and project execution toward a vision planning process that integrated adjacent neighborhoods along the 11-mile stretch of the river. Instead of focusing only on such issues as land-use planning, there would be innovative community engagement and participatory planning practices focused on the social needs of the residents living by the river (Villanueva et al, 2017). Going beyond natural ecological restoration and engaging communities to be part of the process was important because you were familiar with these low-income neighborhoods of color, having grown up nearby and lived in the NELA vicinity for 5 years.…”

Making Place for My Space/Making Space for our Displacement: An Embodied Autoethnography of a Reflexive Communicative Urban Planner

Styled as a letter to my multiple selves, this autoethnography performs a cultural politics of gentrification embodied in my journeys as a community activist, urban planning practitioner, and scholar collaborating with marginalized communities of color in cities. Based on these experiences I uniquely theorize displacement by engaging my affective feelings of empowerment, complicity, melancholy, and self-healing. Critically theorizing my various selves in dialogue with social context, I map my intersectional identities onto larger discourses of community advocacy, racial capitalism, subaltern studies, and decolonization. Ultimately, I argue that another radical self/us/we is possible and point to present-day forms of community organizing and popular education that offer pathways to resist displacement and transform cities toward the arc of social justice.
