{"product_id":"latino-city-hardback","title":"Latino City - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican cities are increasingly turning to revitalization strategies that embrace the ideas of new urbanism and the so-called creative class in an attempt to boost economic growth and prosperity to downtown areas. These efforts stir controversy over residential and commercial gentrification of working class, ethnic areas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning forty years, \u003cem\u003eLatino City\u003c\/em\u003e provides an in-depth case study of the new urbanism, creative class, and transit-oriented models of planning and their implementation in Santa Ana, California, one of the United States’ most Mexican communities. It provides an intimate analysis of how revitalization plans re-imagine and alienate a place, and how community-based participation approaches address the needs and aspirations of lower-income Latino urban areas undergoing revitalization. The book provides a critical introduction to the main theoretical debates and key thinkers related to the new urbanism, transit-oriented, and creative class models of urban revitalization. It is the first book to examine contemporary models of choice for revitalization of US cities from the point of view of a Latina\/o-majority central city, and thus initiates new lines of analysis and critique of models for Latino inner city neighborhood and downtown revitalization in the current period of socio-economic and cultural change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLatino City\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to students and scholars in urban planning, urban studies, urban history, urban policy, neighborhood and community development, central city development, urban politics, urban sociology, geography, and ethnic\/Latino Studies, as well as practitioners, community organizations, and grassroots leaders immersed in these fields.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575271678190,"sku":"9781138820548","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138820548.jpg?v=1720947519","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/latino-city-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
