Can you help me understand this Geography question?
American cities have a long and complicated history, so it is no surprise that we are seeing a new chapter unfold in the urban landscape. The process of gentrification is more complex than the appearance of high-end stores, or the displacement of lower-income residents, so we are going to try to understand it from several different perspectives. In this assignment you are going to use the Warehouse Arts District and Jordan Park neighborhood in St Petersburg as a case study to understand the different perspectives and outcomes of urban development plans. Additionally, you will practice data collection, take a critical approach to city documents, and learn to interpret news articles by answering the following questions.
The first step in our analysis is to get to know our research area, so read through https://psmag.com/news/can-southside-st-petersburg-fight-off-gentrification to get an idea of the history of 22nd Street in the Warehouse Art District and Jordan Park. Pay attention to who are the primary residents and the types (and reasoning) of businesses serving the neighborhood. This site also introduces you to the Brayboy family who are important actors (person who has interests in the project) in the development of the 22nd Street Corridor.
The next stop you will make is https://news.wjct.org/post/debate-over-preservation-growth-heats-st-petersburgto get the opinions of actors from the city government and actors who are developers, as well as the Brayboy family. While you are reading through this article, pay attention to the justifications used by politicians and developers. Also, notice that small businesses are concerned about increased rents and threats from big brand name stores replacing them.
Finally, it is time to read the plan for redeveloping the commercial (areas designated for selling things) zone in the neighborhood. The plan is found at http://www.stpete.org/economic_development/redevelopment/docs/WADA-Deuces%20Action%20Plan.pdf and can be downloaded. The plan is more than 100 pages long, so I dont expect you to read the entire thing. Instead, you should focus on: pages 1-10 for the general direction of the plan; pages 14-23 for goals and specific projects involved with the plan; and pages 70-99 for photos of the future plans.
