I mentioned last time about the 8th Urban Issues Film Festival on Friday, November 8th. We welcome people to the organizing committee or to help out on the day of. Any other announcements or news?

  4. I’m going to keep my notes short as I may want to show a couple of short videos. Both Canada and the U.S. had public housing programs. In the U.S., 810,000 units were built under the Housing Act between 1949 and 1974, and it was of poor quality and located in economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods (see pp. 215-216 for an analysis of why U.S. public housing proved such a failure). In contrast with the U.S., where only 1% of all -housing is purpose-built social housing, in countries like Holland is 35%. The HOPE IV program was intended to break up the dense concentrations of public housing slums with a more ‘new urbanist,’ mixed income approach, but it was criticized for a lack of one-to-one replacement. Public Housing
  5. Pp. 218-222 discuss why people move from, or stay in, a given neighbourhood. However, some people are constrained by a variety of factors in terms of where they can move. Affordability is certainly one factor. Access to work, especially for those without cars, is another. There is a long tradition of housing being segre-gated by race, class, and ethnicity. There were and are a number of strategies by which this was and is achieved: Sales specifications on title Real estate agents keeping the ‘wrong’ type of people out Large lot zoning to make areas less affordable and/or creating different subdivisions with different sized (and priced) houses for different clientele. “Block busting” is also mentioned on p. 225 and we discussed “red-lining on Tuesday. Mobility and Segregation
  6. Gentrification is discussed at length in the rest of the chapter. Kitsilano – from hippie to yuppie Gentrification
