Urban Development Revisited: The Role of Neighborhood Needs and Local Participation in Urban Revitalization

Abstract: Traditional models of economic development such as economic base and urban revitalization models have been found wanting. Both models rely on expert-based assessments of local development needs. More recent approaches call for a stronger focus on local development needs and resident skills as the basis for designing development strategies. One such neighborhood-based approach to development is presented in this paper. Its initial step was a survey of 444 households representing 1398 residents conducted in the … Show more

“…The project was originally conceived at the grassroots level based upon feedback from members of the Greater Johnstown/Cambria County Chamber of Commerce (GJ/CCCC). Many Chamber members are small businesses facing a tough postindustrial economy that is struggling with the out-migration of residents and jobs (O’Hara, 2001). One recurring theme the GJ/CCCC heard from its constituents was the need for localized market research information on projected future economic conditions.…”

“…To fill this gap, we must focus on how and where development takes place (11): inside cities and in terms of changes experienced by households and neighborhoods (12)(13)(14). Initial steps in this direction point to a large heterogeneity and inequality of outcomes between people or places, manifested by the unprecedented scale and growth of vast informal settlements (slums) in low-and middle-income cities (9,11,(15)(16)(17).…”

“…The type and scope of these impacts differ and include air and water pollution, changes in land cover, loss of natural habitats, increased load on water resources, increased energy demand, and higher greenhouse gas emissions [62,63]. To determine the impact of spatial planning development on the sustainable development of the regional scale, one should focus on how and where this development takes place [64], not only within cities, but also in terms of the changes experienced by neighboring rural-urban and rural communes [65,66]. Local-scale analysis indicates changes towards more sustainable development, especially in combination with greater access to urban services [31,59,63,67] that enhance health and provide access to and cause a greater energy and water consumption, while having a significantly lower negative impact on the environment in terms of land use, polluted wastewater, or CO 2 emissions.…”
