This paper investigates the place of exclusion and inclusion in planned community development practice. We undertook qualitative and quantitative analyses of the MPC development practice from the 1990s to the present. Through archival analysis and interviews, we demonstrate that, beginning in the early 2000s, MPC developers started to embrace diversity for financial success. We further confirm this trend by quantitatively analyzing U.S. Census Bureau data. We find that MPCs built since 2000 are racially and ethnically more diverse than their predecessors, with greater emphasis on middle-income households. Based on these findings, we carefully posit that American MPCs are moving toward greater diversity, a clear departure from their history of exclusion. We conclude with policy implications for various levels of the government to take advantage of this trend.KEYWORDS: Master-planned communitiesmixed methods researchdiversity AcknowledgmentsWe thank the four anonymous reviewers for their excellent comments and suggestions that allowed us to improve the paper significantly.

The forest pub, maintained by the City of Turku, is an outdoor place where groups are encouraged to gather, socialize, and drink in public. Grateful for such an opportunity, the regulars embrace the forest pub, yet recognize its deficiencies in supporting public sociability and encounter. Through improvised action, the regulars respond to the limits and possibilities of their socio-spatial surroundings and find solutions to their everyday needs in the changing suburban landscape. This ethnographic study contributes to the discussions on the complex nature of spaces that exist on one hand as products of planning and control, and everyday practice and meaning on the other. Working between these aspects, urban improvising emerges as a contextualized, experimental, intuitive, and interactive everyday action, being central to the way people “keep life going” in their neighborhood. Everyday acts of improvisation unfold as a reflection of the regulars’ being and belonging in their suburb, suggesting an alternative view to spaces perceived as contested or marginal.","PeriodicalId":17420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Affairs","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136295695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper asks whether changes in density within city-regions are associated with changes in racial and gender inequality. The main results suggest that a 100 person per square mile increase in population density is associated with 32.9, 46.1, and 27.5 cent increases in hourly Black-White, Latinx-White, and female-male wage inequality respectively. I conceptualize and find suggestive evidence in favor of a spatial mechanism that channels this relationship—as cities get denser, congestion also rises, with disproportionately adverse effects for women and people of color. I show that the relationship between changes in density and changes in inequality is higher when commute times also rise, and that increasing density within cities is associated with increasing commuting inequality. Overall, this research highlights how the process of urbanization may contribute to social inequality.","PeriodicalId":17420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Affairs","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135044280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on two mixed-methods research projects conducted in 2021 and early 2022, we use social media analysis and data gathered through a four-component “aesthetic survey” methodology to demonstrate the drastic transformation of a particular section of this neighborhood in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. A key question of this research is why such a transformation should be taking place in this exact moment, as previous attempts have been made to stimulate precisely the sorts of changes now observed over the course of the last decade or so, all to no avail. We argue that this unexpected “boom” is the result of a conjunction of pandemic mitigation policy implemented by the Hong Kong government (which we label “immobility policy”) and the widespread and enduring reputation of Sham Shui Po in the city’s cultural geography (which we explore through the concept of “territorial stigma”). This case therefore stands to contribute substantially to ongoing debates on the nature and pace of urban change, especially at crucial historico-geographical junctures.KEYWORDS: COVID-19neighborhood changegentrificationaesthetic surveysocial media AcknowledgmentsWe wish to thank our Editor June Wang and our anonymous reviewers for their helpful and supportive feedback on earlier drafts of this manuscript, and for the feedback we received after presenting this work as part of the HKU Tourism Seminar Series in 2022.

See the work of the Society for Community Organization, based in Sham Shui Po, here: soco.org.hk/en/.2. In recent years, Sham Shui Po has become an important destination for asylum seekers from South Asia in particular. Hong Kong is not a signatory to major international treaties or agreements on refugees (thus, “refugee” is not a legal status in this Special Administrative Region of China), and the process of seeking asylum is experienced by many as complicated, arduous, and capricious. Asylum seekers generally have no right to legal employment, and small gatherings of unemployed persons (largely young and middle-aged men) easily identified by locals as foreigners and/or ethnic minorities are an increasingly visible presence on the streets of Sham Shui Po, which has created no small measure of social and political tension. When asked to describe the neighborhood, for instance, one longtime resident immediately responded that Sham Shui Po is populated by “all sorts of bad people (品流複雜),” specifically referencing the increasing presence of South Asians and the common local narrative that such persons are especially prone to fighting in public","PeriodicalId":17420,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Affairs","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135093570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A concern associated with these demonstrations is that adults in poor health will be either excluded from these programs or penalized for not meeting program directives to obtain employment. This concern speaks to the ongoing debate about the importance of work barriers—such as poor health—compared to programmatic work disincentives—such as basing rents on income—in shaping the employment outcomes of HUD clients. We advance this debate through a detailed analysis of the relationship between specific health conditions and employment among a sample of young adult HUD clients. Using a novel dataset and quasi-experimental research design, we find that depression, anxiety, hypertension, and diabetes are prevalent conditions among our sample of HUD clients. We further find that depression and hypertension are significant predictors of non-employment, though depression is only significant among HUD clients and not the entire matched sample. We find no evidence that HUD assistance creates a work disincentive. Our results therefore support the narrative that work barriers such as poor health may create a barrier to employment for HUD clients, many of whom may require specialized health and supportive services to obtain employment.KEYWORDS: Affordable housingemploymentpovertyurban health Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research uses data from Add Health, funded by grant [P01 HD31921] (Harris) from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), with cooperative funding from 23 other federal agencies and foundations.
