Commercial corridor revitalization : retail reforms the inner city strip

After half a century of neglect and disinvestment, pub lic, private, and nonprofit
developers are beginning to realize the potential of inner city retail. Accordingly, there
have been tremendous redevelopment efforts in low income inner city neighborhoods
over the last 15 years. While this development physically revitalizes commercial strips, it
sometimes contributes to gentrification, driving out long-time neighborhood residents.
However, redevelopment is not synonymous with displacement and when revitalization
efforts seek to address community needs and concerns, neighborhoods and their residents
benefit from positive change. / text
