Overview
This research assignment contains two topics: Revitalization and Unincorporated Areas. You are to research and discussed each topic separately. Research should go beyond the websites provided.
TOPIC 1: Revitalization
The need for cities and urban spaces to reinvent themselves is continuous. This process is often called revitalization, reinvestment, renewal or redevelopment. Sometimes the process includes gentrification. Revitalizing urban geography has pros and cons. What group(s) of people are adversely impacted, and what groups benefit? The impact on the environment, infrastructure, land use, social services and city budgets are major considerations. There are winners and losers. Successful redevelopment projects are successful planning projects, where there are minimum negative consequences and (an) overall improved quality of life.
Instructions
After viewing the websites below, in not less than two pages discuss the following questions.
1. What groups have benefitted from Pittsburgh's revitalization?
2. What groups were adversely impacted?
3. How did politics impact what groups benefitted and those that were/are adversely impacted?
4. Did the local government balance its revitalization approach to address the needs of the majority of residents?
5. What role has planning played in Pittsburgh's success?
TOPIC 2: Unincorporated Areas
Counties are among the oldest forms of local government. All states have some form of county government. The structure and names of "county" government can differ from state to state. For example, in Louisiana counties are called parishes. The state of Virginia has many "independent cities" that are not part of a county. Thus, throughout the USA, there are somewhat small deviations in counties or a state's administrative seats. This assignment researches a little discussed part of a county: those areas in a county that are not incorporated. These areas are simply called the unincorporated areas.
Note: County unincorporated areas should not be confused with unincorporated territories such as Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In not less than one page address the following in your essay.
• What is an unincorporated area of a county?
• What are the pros and cons of living in unincorporated areas?
• Identify one unincorporated area of a county in Georgia or your "home" county and describe the demographics.
