As neoliberal strategies are implemented in redevelopment projects, public safety nets are reduced and low-income communities of color in declining urban neighborhoods become particularly vulnerable. This multiple case study seeks to understand the experiences of post crisis urban redevelopment for low-income communities of color in 5 major U.S. cities. The data I analyzed include 101 short videos from the interactive documentary platform Land of Opportunity, documenting the process of post-crisis urban redevelopment in New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Detroit, and San Francisco. In doing so, I discovered that residents' experiences vary greatly based on redevelopment strategy that was employed and the level of resident involvement in the redevelopment process. 2016-08-10T07:00:00Z text application/pdf http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/2239 http://scholarworks.uno.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3343&context=td University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations ScholarWorks@UNO redevelopment displacement public housing gentrification cultural displacement African American Studies Anthropology Civic and Community Engagement Film and Media Studies Social and Cultural Anthropology Sociology Urban Studies and Planning Visual Studies
