Summary: This is a story about how urban redevelopment in downtown Phoenix\u2019s art district helped local artists explore business ventures that, eventually, sort of re-built that area. I think it\u2019s particularly relevant in today\u2019s Athens because it deals with gentrification and how development in low-income areas can affect a community. With all the redevelopment happening in Athens, I think it\u2019s fitting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary: This is a story about how Redwood City government is forcing local small business owners to sell property or relocate so as to have a bigger, incoming cinema bring big business to the area. This is especially relevant to Athens’ downtown because businesses like Urban Outfitters, Zaxby’s and (soon) American Eagle are moving in and displacing small businesses.<\/p>\n

Date Published:\u00a0June 24, 1995<\/p>\n

Summary: This article is about gentrification and the clash of cultures (middle class and low-income) that come along with it. It is written about Vancouver. I think it’s particularly interesting and relevant, again, because gentrification is such a huge issue in Athens. I think this article does a good job of showing both sides of the equation \u2014 those who see gentrification as a problem, as well as the possible benefits of gentrification.<\/p>\n
