Neighborhood Revitalization or Gentrification?
Posted by on October 24, 2003
Neighborhood Revitalization or Gentrification? on November 6
7:00-9:00pm at the Friends Meeting House, 15th and Cherry Streets
Cost: Free (Donations accepted)
How do we ensure strong job, income, and population growth in struggling urban neighborhoods without abandoning working and low-income residents? What is the best way to accomplish this in a global economy? To some it’s a matter of neighborhood revitalization, to others it’s gentrification, and for many these questions raise a complex and multi-layered set of issues that deeply affect community members throughout Philadelphia and nationally. Join us and hear a variety of perspectives as community members talk about their work and struggle to sustain and grow Philadelphia’s neighborhoods.
Presenters:
Rosemary Cubas, Executive Director, Community Leadership Institute
Wendy Hutson, Brewerytown Resident, Fairmount CDC Planning Committee
Jeremy Nowak, President and CEO, The Reinvestment Fund
Presented by Bread and Roses Community Fund Barbara Smith Community School. For more information, visit http://www.breadrosesfund.org/bscs/programs.html
