David F. Garrison’s article on District of Columbia’s Elected Advisory Neighborhood Commissions main purpose is to give the strengths and weakness of the Advisory Neighborhood Commission or ANC, however the article does a better job at explaining how the ANC is being used by DC’s City Council and other industries and that it is not needed.   First, Garrison starts off talking about the structure of the ANC and how it was formed.

These acts of social activism and political reformation were to fix issues in urban areas, fix issues in the garment industry, and to make a changes so tragedies (like the Triangle Fire) don’t happen again. The triangle fire serves as a microcosm for the progressive era because they both needed reformation but action was not taken until things became extreme. Right before the Progressive era, America was full of living condition issues, political leader problems, and issues among the people.

Effect of Gentrification: Introduction In this paper I will describe and explain the impact of gentrification on people of color living in the greater Seattle area in the regards to the issues of accessing housing. Ruth Glass coined the term “gentrification” in 1964 to describe the phenomenon of middle-class settlement in previously working class neighborhoods and the subsequent displacement of the working class residents. In response to these negative images, those with a stake in the process of gentrification, including developers, city planners and new residents, have attempted to replace the term with a variety of alternatives: revitalization, renaissance, rehabilitation and reinvestment (Ruth Glass). Rising property values in the light

We also will advocate on inclusionary zoning and working with legislature leaders to look at best ways to have the community benefit from the HOME program to include larger units built to accommodate those who require 4 or more bedrooms. The HOME program provides grants to states and units of general local government to implement local housing strategies designed to increase homeownership and affordable housing opportunities for low and very low-income Americans (U.S Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, n.d.). 4 U Housing Coalition would like to provide a 5-year timetable to look at how effective our efforts are for the Humboldt Park community.

He analyses a bottom-up approach to policy making in this book but fails to state if it is adequate. Up until this book was published, the majority of people looked at policy making from a top-down perspective. Since the 1980’s there has been increased debate over which approach is more effective (Gabel, 2012).

Planning is transforming socially, but to achieve change it has to bring together, politicians, planners, and residents (Sandercock, 2004). Citizen’s opinions and rights should be taken into consideration. It is the number one rule in the planning process for participants.
