<br /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Pittsburgh's economic re-development has earned it the reputation as a 'most livable city.' But growing numbers of residents ask, 'livable for whom?' It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the reality of a growing divide between two Pittsburghs”one affluent, professional, and largely white, and the other low-income people with long-term roots in the region, largely people of color. Such patterns of growth, rising inequality, increased economic and racial segregation, and displacement of poor minority residents is the direct result of global level development processes. Globalized imperatives to promote markets and economic growth has exacerbated inequalities and divisions in cities around the world between elites and the people for whom the city is primarily a place to live and work. And around the world people are coming together to resist their displacement from their homes and communities. </span><br /> The [https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/global/ Global Studies Center] at the University of Pittsburgh is helping convene the Housing Summit as a space for residents to come together with organizers and experts from around the world to learn about and discuss the global and local forces affecting people's access to affordable housing and the efforts to address them. A series of public lectures, panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing. Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow Professor Jackie Smith, whose research focuses on social movement responses to globalization, is coordinating the initiative, with the help of a [[Steering Committee|steering committee]] of Pitt faculty and community leaders working in the most impacted neighborhoods. Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization. Participatory workshops are designed to help participants learn skills to help them end discrimination and displacement while building a movement for housing justice and human rights.<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/events/300221477006143%20 Facebook event]<br /> <br /><br />

<br /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Pittsburgh's economic re-development has earned it the reputation as a 'most livable city.' But growing numbers of residents ask, 'livable for whom?' It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the reality of a growing divide between two Pittsburghs”one affluent, professional, and largely white, and the other low-income people with long-term roots in the region, largely people of color. Such patterns of growth, rising inequality, increased economic and racial segregation, and displacement of poor minority residents is the direct result of global level development processes. Globalized imperatives to promote markets and economic growth has exacerbated inequalities and divisions in cities around the world between elites and the people for whom the city is primarily a place to live and work. And around the world people are coming together to resist their displacement from their homes and communities. </span><br /> The [https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/global/ Global Studies Center] at the University of Pittsburgh is helping convene the Housing Summit as a space for residents to come together with organizers and experts from around the world to learn about and discuss the global and local forces affecting people's access to affordable housing and the efforts to address them. A series of public lectures, panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing. Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow Professor Jackie Smith, whose research focuses on social movement responses to globalization, is coordinating the initiative, with the help of a [[Steering Committee|steering committee]] of Pitt faculty and community leaders working in the most impacted neighborhoods. Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization. Participatory workshops are designed to help participants learn skills to help them end discrimination and displacement while building a movement for housing justice and human rights.<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/events/300221477006143%20 Facebook event]<br /> <br /><br />

<br /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Pittsburgh's economic re-development has earned it the reputation as a 'most livable city.' But growing numbers of residents ask, 'livable for whom?' It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the reality of a growing divide between two Pittsburghs”one affluent, professional, and largely white, and the other low-income people with long-term roots in the region, largely people of color. Such patterns of growth, rising inequality, increased economic and racial segregation, and displacement of poor minority residents is the direct result of global level development processes. Globalized imperatives to promote markets and economic growth has exacerbated inequalities and divisions in cities around the world between elites and the people for whom the city is primarily a place to live and work. And around the world people are coming together to resist their displacement from their homes and communities. </span><br /> The [https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/global/ Global Studies Center] at the University of Pittsburgh is helping convene the Housing Summit as a space for residents to come together with organizers and experts from around the world to learn about and discuss the global and local forces affecting people's access to affordable housing and the efforts to address them. A series of public lectures, panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing. Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow Professor Jackie Smith, whose research focuses on social movement responses to globalization, is coordinating the initiative, with the help of a [[Steering Committee|steering committee]] of Pitt faculty and community leaders working in the most impacted neighborhoods. Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization. Participatory workshops are designed to help participants learn skills to help them end discrimination and displacement while building a movement for housing justice and human rights.<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/events/300221477006143%20 Facebook event]<br /> <br /><br />

<br /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Pittsburgh's economic re-development has earned it the reputation as a 'most livable city.' But growing numbers of residents ask, 'livable for whom?' It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the reality of a growing divide between two Pittsburghs”one affluent, professional, and largely white, and the other low-income people with long-term roots in the region, largely people of color. Such patterns of growth, rising inequality, increased economic and racial segregation, and displacement of poor minority residents is the direct result of global level development processes. Globalized imperatives to promote markets and economic growth has exacerbated inequalities and divisions in cities around the world between elites and the people for whom the city is primarily a place to live and work. And around the world people are coming together to resist their displacement from their homes and communities. </span><br /> The [https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/global/ Global Studies Center] at the University of Pittsburgh is helping convene the Housing Summit as a space for residents to come together with organizers and experts from around the world to learn about and discuss the global and local forces affecting people's access to affordable housing and the efforts to address them. A series of public lectures, panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing. Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow Professor Jackie Smith, whose research focuses on social movement responses to globalization, is coordinating the initiative, with the help of a [[Steering Committee|steering committee]] of Pitt faculty and community leaders working in the most impacted neighborhoods. Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization. Participatory workshops are designed to help participants learn skills to help them end discrimination and displacement while building a movement for housing justice and human rights.<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/events/300221477006143%20 Facebook event]<br /> <br /><br />

Such patterns of growth, rising inequality, increased economic and racial segregation, and displacement of poor minority residents is the direct result of global level development processes.

A series of public lectures, panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing.

Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization.

And around the world people are coming together to resist their displacement from their homes and communities. </span><br /> The [https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/global/ Global Studies Center] at the University of Pittsburgh is helping convene the Housing Summit as a space for residents to come together with organizers and experts from around the world to learn about and discuss the global and local forces affecting people's access to affordable housing and the efforts to address them. A series of public lectures, panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing. Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow Professor Jackie Smith, whose research focuses on social movement responses to globalization, is coordinating the initiative, with the help of a [[Steering Committee|steering committee]] of Pitt faculty and community leaders working in the most impacted neighborhoods. Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization. Participatory workshops are designed to help participants learn skills to help them end discrimination and displacement while building a movement for housing justice and human rights.<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/events/300221477006143%20 Facebook event]<br /> <br /><br />

<p>Pghhousing: Created page with "<div id="content_view" class="wiki" style="display: block"><span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: 16px">Dear educator,</span><br /> <br /> I wr..."</p>
<hr />
<div><div id="content_view" class="wiki" style="display: block"><span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: 16px">Dear educator,</span><br /> <br /> I write to let you know about an upcoming initiative that may be relevant to your educational work. On November 10-12, we will be organizing a University-Community Housing Summit at the University of Pittsburgh and in the larger community. The initiative is sponsored by the Global Studies Center at Pitt, and it will consist of public lectures and panels, skills-building workshops, community-university dialogues, and one or more cultural events held over a number of days. It is being planned by a [[Steering%20Committee|steering committee]] of community activists and faculty from the University of Pittsburgh.<br /> <br /> The project's key goals are to: 1) raise the profile of the affordable housing crisis in Pittsburgh; 2) <span class="author-a-z65zz85zz68zrmz86ziqz76zqz78zz73zkhz78zr">Shift debates to go beyond the supply of affordable housing to address forces driving the growing demand for it; 3) Bring together diverse constituencies to learn from one another and advance understandings of the causes, impacts, and solutions related to affordable housing; 4) E</span>nhance local knowledge about the global factors shaping housing policies and the right to housing in Pittsburgh; 5) Strengthen residents' skills and capacities for addressing the housing crisis and its impacts; and 6) Improve cooperation between area universities and residents.<br /> <br /> We are hoping that teachers working with youth in our community will use this opportunity to help introduce their students to some of the background to the affordable housing crisis that is happening in Pittsburgh and other cities around the world. We would like young people to be involved in the Summit and to engage in the training workshops and discussions about how our community can better address the needs of residents to decent and affordable housing. Such engagement is critical to cultivating the leadership and creative thinking needed to solve this persistent and growing problem. To support this, we are encouraging and supporting synergistic activities such as films and book discussions and building a resource website with content that is appropriate to learners at all levels. We will also work to bring one or more of our guest speakers to local schools. We invite input from educators in our community on this endeavor.<br /> <br /> Below this message you'll find a more detailed description of the project and its rationale. I hope you will consider incorporating the theme of urban development and housing rights into your curriculum planning and student activities for the coming fall. We will be bringing in speakers from national housing justice movements as well as leading scholars in this area, and we anticipate some opportunities to arrange for them to meet with students at area schools. We look forward to welcoming you and your students to the Housing Summit events, and I invite your input and questions at this point as we begin to shape the form and content of this project.<br /> <br /> Please let us know about your interest in this initiative and indicate if there are ways the Summit might complement the work you're doing with your students.<br /> <br /> We look forward to hearing from you.<br /> <br /> Sincerely,<br /> Jackie Smith,<br /> Professor of Sociology and Faculty Fellow, Global Studies Center<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="text-align: center"><span style="display: block; text-align: center">'''Developing Neighborhood Scholars: A University-Community Housing Summit'''</span></span><br /> <span style="text-align: center"><span style="display: block; text-align: center">''Project Coordinator, Jackie Smith, Department of Sociology & Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow''</span></span><br /> <span style="text-align: center"><span style="display: block; text-align: center">''Sponsored by the Global Studies Center, University of Pittsburgh''</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> The University-Community Housing Summit will provide a space for policy analysts, community leaders, scholars, and public officials to engage in collaborative work to identify feasible solutions to Pittsburgh's housing crisis and the underlying forces that contribute to it, such as an under-representation of affected communities in decision making. Local, national, and international participants will be invited to contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization.<br /> <br /> Participants will learn skills to help them contribute to improving affordable housing in our region. The Summit will also build upon the lessons from two other University of Pittsburgh conferences led by the Global Studies Center “ the Human Rights Cities: Making the Global Local workshop in June of 2015 and Moving: Gendered Experiences of Migration, Gentrification, and Displacement held in April. The Summit will consist of public lectures and panels, skills-building workshops, community-university dialogues, and one or more cultural events.<br /> <br /> Pittsburgh's economic re-development has earned it the reputation as a most livable city. But growing numbers of residents ask, livable for whom? It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the reality of a growing divide between two Pittsburghs”one affluent, professional, and largely white, and the other low-income people with long-term roots in the region, largely people of color.[[#_edn1|[i]]]<br /> <br /> Despite the links between economic growth and urban diversity, Pittsburgh continues to have the whitest metro area among large U.S. cities, and this is worrying to local officials.[[#_edn2|[ii]]] It also has higher than national average rates of racial disparities in poverty, unemployment, and educational outcomes. African Americans in Pittsburgh fare far worse than those elsewhere in the country. Pitt's Center on Race and Social Problems reported that Blacks often reside in areas where there are fewer resources for a good quality of life compared to more advantaged residential areas where Whites live.[[#_edn3|[iii]]]<br /> <br /> What is happening in Pittsburgh, however, is not unique to this city. Nor are the responses that are emerging. Patterns of growth, rising inequality, increased economic and racial segregation, and displacement of poor African American residents is, according to many analysts, the direct result of global processes that have turned cities into growth machines. The growing commodification of urban spaces privileges external investors and markets over the needs of residents for whom the city is primarily a place to live and work, exacerbating inequalities and conflict in cities around the world.[[#_edn4|[iv]]]<br /> <br /> There is a notable gap in awareness among local organizers about global-local impacts, and dialogue with community leaders has revealed a reluctance to embrace human rights and other frameworks deemed to be ˜international,' which are seen as removed from local experiences. Our aim for the Housing Summit is to help strengthen connections between local, national and international advocates for more just social policies in our cities and contribute to a growing body of scholarship on the complex relationships between the global and local as they affect human rights. The Housing Summit will provide space for participants to learn more about the solutions that have emerged, not just in Pittsburgh but also around the world, to address the loss/lack of affordable housing. In addition, the Summit will provide spaces for community leaders to meet with university faculty and administrators to explore how we can make better use of data and research to support community needs, and how we can improve our education and training to better support practitioners and to cultivate the kind of leadership today's urban challenges demand.<br /> <br /> We expect the summit to help us identify and begin training a team of neighborhood scholars who understand the national and global dimensions of housing policy and who can help document local needs and otherwise support advocacy for residents. The Summit will provide a space for leaders from universities and community groups to identify priorities and to explore ways to advance this agenda, building upon networks that are already emerging among community organizations, national and international human rights cities organizers, the University Human Rights Network, and other allies connected to the Pittsburgh Human Rights City Alliance. The Housing Summit will be an opportunity for more extensive cross-campus and community collaboration on an issue the affects all of our campuses and our neighborhoods.<br /> '''<span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: 16px">Anticipated Outcomes. </span>'''<span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: 16px">The key aims are to: 1) raise the profile of the affordable housing crisis on public and research agendas; 2) enhance local knowledge about the global factors shaping housing policies in Pittsburgh; 3) strengthen residents' skills and capacities for addressing the housing crisis and its impacts; and 4) improve practices that enable residents and policymakers to both utilize and shape the data and research being produced at area universities; and 5) strengthen working relationships among members of Pittsburgh area universities and activist communities. Since these objectives have both scholarly and policy relevance, we are building an advisory committee made up of leaders from both of those areas to help structure the Summit agenda. Dr. Smith will work with the advisory committee to develop appropriate assessment/evaluation tools as well as a synthesis report that can be a basis for further action and dialogue on campus and in the community. Thus far, we have engaged with an emerging alliance of housing advocates in Pittsburgh as well as with faculty in the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health, and School of Social Work and from faculty at other area Universities. The final report will be accessible to a general audience and will be circulated via websites, news media, and a variety of online and social media outlets used by community organizers who participate in the project. We will make results available in accessible formats via the Human Rights City Alliance and other relevant websites.</span><br /> <br /><br />

NCI was created in 1969 in Albany, Georgia, by leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, including Congressman John Lewis, and Charles and Shirley Sherrod, to help secure economic independence for African American families. For 15 years, NCI cooperatively farmed nearly 6,000 acres, the largest tract of land in the United States owned by African Americans at the time, but racist opposition prevented them from implementing plans to build 500 affordable homes as part of their community land trust. Unable to secure government loans to cope with the impact of successive years of drought, NCI lost the land to foreclosure in 1985. But 25 years later it was given new life as a result of a successful and little-known class action lawsuit brought by hundreds of African American farmers against the U.S. Department of Agriculture for loan discrimination. With the settlement, the original founders purchased a 1,600-acre plantation once owned by the largest slave owner and richest man in Georgia. NCI is now growing pecans and using the antebellum mansion on the property as a retreat and training center, still committed to its original mission of promoting racial justice and economic development.

It also vividly illustrates the way class antagonism, red-baiting, and racism combined to thwart the initial plans and how people who were initially defeated were able eventually to win an important though still only partial victory. As an historical account, it complements ''The Pruitt-Igoe Myth'' and ''Chavez Ravine''. As a story of effective collective struggle, it goes nicely with ''Holding Ground''. And as an account of the first efforts to create a Community Land Trust, it provides valuable background to ''Streets of Dreams''. However, I think the focus may be too narrow and to historical for the purposes of a film series related to the Housing Summit; and if we were to show one piece on Community Land Trusts, I think it would be better to go with ''Streets of Dreams'', which looks at their pursuit in several parts of the country, gives more weight to the present, and is shorter.] </span><br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">#Banished: American Ethnic Cleansings (2007) </span>'''<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">(Also subtitled, How Whites Drove Blacks out of Town in America.) -- http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/banished/film.html '''--''' </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">A hundred years ago, in communities across the U.S., white residents forced thousands of black families to flee their homes. Even a century later, these towns remain almost entirely white. BANISHED tells the story of three of these communities and their black descendants, who return to learn their shocking histories. In Forsyth County, Georgia, where a thousand black residents were expelled, the film explores the question of land fraudulently taken, and follows some descendants in their quest to uncover the real story of their family's land. In Pierce City, Missouri, a man has designed his own creative form of reparation'”he wishes to disinter the remains of his great-grandfather, who was buried there before the banishment. And in Harrison, Arkansas, home to the headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan, a white community struggles with their town's legacy of hate. By investigating this little-known chapter in American history, BANISHED also takes a contemporary look at the legacy of racial cleansing. Through conversations with current residents and the descendants of those who were driven out, the film contemplates questions of privilege, responsibility, denial, healing, reparations and identity. What can be done to redress past injustices? What is the ongoing impact of the expulsions on families and communities today? In the stories of black families whose land and livelihood were stolen, the film illustrates the limits of the American legal system and the need for creative forms of repair. By introducing these families and the white communities who forced them out, BANISHED raises the question of responsibility for past wrongs and what is involved in righting them.</span><span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">[84 mins.; dir.

It focuses on a powerful illustration of this: the juxtaposition of housing projects and an elite private school on opposite sides of the street in the West Chelsea part of Manhattan, an area where apartments are now selling for u to $20m while the average earnings of families in the projects is around $21,000 pa. And it gains some emotional force by exploring this juxtaposition mainly through the eyes of young people in the projects and the school, some of whom are very articulate about the situation, including a quite remarkable eight-year old from the projects. Global issues also surface in a couple of ways '” the elite school calls itself The World School and boasts that it is training its students (whose tuition costs around $45,000 per year) to function effectively in a global economy; and about 40% of the people acquiring expensive properties in the area are either foreign or anonymous buyers. The filmmaking is OK but not striking and, like so many documentaries these days, the film doesn't get into the broader shifts in the workings of capitalism in the US and the wider world over the last forty years that have produced the massive increases in social inequality, the increased privatization of housing markets, and the dramatic growth in speculative investment in real estate. This means that the only solutions that are addressed for the people in the projects are ones involving the individual self-advancement and/or the forging of dialogues with wealth kids from across the street. There's only fleeting attention to collective efforts to challenge the broad forces shaping the inequalities we see. If we were to show the film, I think it could provoke very interesting discussions though it's main drawback in terms of its relevance to what's happening in Pittsburgh is that it portrays levels of inequality that can be found in some the world's most expensive cities but aren't representative of the significant but less extreme kinds of inequality affecting housing issues here.]</span><br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">Detropia (2012) --</span>'''<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detropia -- A documentary about the city of </span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif; text-decoration: none">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit,_Michigan Detroit, Michigan]</span><span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">.

The story about the growing presence of young artists and the illustrative scenes focused on the Coys aren't as well integrated into the narrative as I'd like. Housing, foreclosures, and housing destruction receive some attention, as does the promotion of urban gardening, but a lot of the film is focused, quite reasonably, on the impact of decades of white flight, severe job loss for those that remain, and the difficulties local residents face in paying bills for increasingly antiquated and ineffective utilities, especially water. The emphasis seems to be mainly on capturing the look and feel of decay in visually quirky, sometimes arresting ways and not on what I understand has been the emergence of significant and inventive forms of collective resistance.] </span><br /> <br<br />

In fact, Poitras was the first person Snowden approached when he wanted to go public with his story. In this film, the gay newcomers do not come off well, almost all of them seeming horribly uninterested in talking with the existing residents about their concerns, let alone in trying to work together to address them. For our purposes, it could serve as a useful way of getting people to talk about whether people should contribute to the gentrification of poor neighborhoods and, if they do, how they should relate to their new neighbors. However, the developments the film portrays took place fifteen years ago and the way it presents them may do more to divide than foster coalition building. Moreover, like almost all the documentaries on gentrification, its tight focus on the established residents, the newcomers, and a few individual realtors means it has nothing to say about the key role so often played by big banks and development companies let alone the local ramifications of broad shifts in the workings of global capitalism since the 1970s.]</span><br /> <br /> '''<span style="color: #262626; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">Gaining Ground: Building Community on Dudley Street (2012)</span>'''<span style="color: #262626; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif"> -- </span><span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2290355/</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif"> -- In the midst of the economic meltdown, 'Gaining Ground' explores the innovative, grassroots organizing efforts of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI) in Boston.

The film highlights issues of urban redevelopment in general and access to affordable housing in particular. It is at its best, in my view, when it focuses on the efforts of poorer residents to have a voice in the redevelopment process and especially when it looks at their collective struggles to reopen a highly valued public-housing project that was closed and slated for demolition after the hurricane even though it could easily have been repaired and returned to the people previously living there. </span><span style="color: #1d1d1d; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">Interesting comparisons could be made here with The Pruitt-Igoe Myth, Chavez Ravine, and Chocolate City. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">My main reservations are, first, that it's not only long but also, given its emphasis on multiple experiences, a bit too sprawling and ill-focused, and second, that it doesn't say as much as it could about (a) the predatory and often corrupt efforts of corporate interests, the Bush administration, and key local officials to use the effects of the hurricane to get rid of a wide range of public facilities in New Orleans (including schools as well as housing) and to facilitate rampant privatization and the permanent displacement of a significant proportion of the city's low-income African-American population, let alone (b) how all this relates to broader transformations in the U.S. and the wider world associated with the growing emphasis on neoliberal policies and, increasingly, on neoliberal solutions to the problems these policies have helped produce or worsen.

Indeed, Craig Wilder, one of the scholars the director interviews, says quite explicitly at one point that gentrifications isn't principally about some people moving in and other people having to move out but instead about developers working with city officials to reshape neighborhoods as sources of greater profit, often in return for significant government tax breaks and other kinds of subsidy. I also like the fact that the film shows people organizing to try to push development in more equitable directions. My only reservation is that the director focuses mainly on the experiences of small business owners facing displacement from the spaces they rent and by extension on the interests of local residents as consumers. I would have liked to see her do more to situate this part of the story in relation to the experiences of local people as home owners and renters (other than herself) facing the threat and reality of displacement and as wage workers facing job loss or significant declines in income, especially real income in the context of what I assume are rapidly rising local prices. Also, like quite a few of the films on this list, it ends up being more of a lament than a source of encouragement, mainly because it doesn't give much attention to collectively organized challenges and especially ones that enjoyed at least some success.]</span><br /> <br /> '''<span style="color: #262626; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">Public Housing</span>'''<span style="color: #262626; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif"> '''(1997)''' -- </span><span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0130200/</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif"> -- Renowned documentarian Frederick Wiseman takes an intimate and nuanced look at the Ida B.

It shows how PAH uses grassroots activism to provide emotional, economic, legal, and political support to people who often feel isolated and ashamed in the face of actual and threatened evictions even though the problems they face are the result of the rampant over-marketing of mortgages by the big banks until the bubble burst in 2008, the dramatic increase in unemployment and savage wage cuts that followed, and the national government's emphasis on bailing out the banks rather than the borrowers.

In California, the sub prime crisis has hit homeowners full on. Repossessions have become routine and the foreclosure rate is still accelerating. Neat façades and tidy gardens can't prevent houses being sold for almost half of what they cost a year ago. Pressed for time and money, owners are torn out of their homes: "It's like leaving your children"says Rob. He is hoping the bank will accept a quick sale and forgive the loss, but this is unlikely. Most are made to wait until they default on repayment, which wrecks their credit record. Former bankers reveal how low interest rates were meant to boost the economy. Banks looked for ways to make profit despite low rates and chased high-risk mortgages that would pay 8 or 9%, ignoring the consequences for borrowers if prices fell and interest rates rose again: "There's no perception of the guy in some tiny little house in Detroit or in Philadelphia or in Stockton who basically might be losing their home."Now that the system has failed, banks are less ready to lend money and this impacts on the entire economy.

She begins by providing an overview of gentrification, talks briefly about it as something that's being globalized, and offers a useful way of distinguishing key variants. She highlights the role of big money in most gentrification processes, critiques the move from public housing to 'mixed-income developments, tracks briefly the dispersal<br />
of people displaced by such developments, and, perhaps most importantly, goes beyond lamenting the harm that gentrification often does to explore or at least list some creative alternatives. Moreover, although she focuses on gentrification in London and some of what she says may seem obscure to people unfamiliar with the city, her emphasis on the fate of 'council estates is simply a British way of talking about the fate of public housing and most of what she says about alternatives such as the refurbishment of public housing, Community Land Trusts, cooperatives, and community housing associations is relevant well-beyond the London context.

Partly in response to the fact that several of the property companies operate in a variety of cities and countries and partly in recognition of the many countries represented among the working class in East Harlem, the movement has developed national and transnational ties, linking its efforts to the struggles of other groups around the world that are trying to help people obtain genuinely affordable housing in the communities where they live. It also argues that the ultimate source of the global housing crisis is not bad landlords and malleable politicians but neoliberal capitalism as a system.

I would certainly consider using it in an academic course. However, Harvey's language and perspective are more familiar to scholars working on urban issues than to most members of the general public and I've been told that his presentation could thus feel a bit alien and alienating to a general audience.]</span><br /> <br /> '''<span style="color: #18376a; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">What We Don't Understand about Gentrification</span>''''''<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif"> (2015)</span>'''<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif"> -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqogaDX48nI -- </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">Gentrification is a term that people throw around a lot, but it's often oversimplified as neighborhood revitalization.

This 'rough cut preview is, indeed, somewhat rough but it does give some moving insights into the processes by which Atlanta was, by about 2010, on the verge of becoming the first city in the world to intentionally remove all of the public housing within the boundaries of the city and what that was meaning for local, low-income residents. It also relates recent developments to the earlier phase of displacement associated with arrival of the Olympic Games in 1996, thus encouraging comparisons with the impact of Dodgers' Stadium on ''Chavez Ravine'' in LA and of the Penguins on the lower Hill here in Pittsburgh.

Carl Redwood, chair of the Hill District Consensus Group, talks about the interplay between public subsidies for the Center's construction, development rights on adjoining land and parking revenue together with concessions, pledges, and promises and intentions to Hill District community.

Might go together nicely with ''Chavez Ravine'' and the rough cut of ''The Atlanta Way'', which both deal with the impact of the publicly subsidized development of sports stadiums on low-income residents and their access to housing.]</span><br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">*</span>''''''<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif">#Zombies from Wall Street (Has Wall Street Created Another Housing Crisis?)

But ten years on, the worst is yet to come. Since the 2007 sub-prime crisis, an exodus of families ruined by the banks has drained Cleveland's life-blood. Communities declined and family homes are now scarred by the evidence of violent crime. Like many Cleveland residents, politician Jim Rokakis felt helpless against the power of global markets: 'A lot of us raised our voices and we screamed and we waved and we said there's a train wreck coming. Well the train wreck came . The city has changed beyond recognition. As Police Chief Brandon Kutz says, "We've had a lot of homicides this year, we've had a lot of people shot. We've had a lot of citizens afraid and scared. It's a serious issue . Those who remain have few choices. Homes are worthless, and long-gone owners are stalked for maintenance costs they can't afford. Resident Stephanie Benifield says, "People are dying and people are just abandoning the homes", because "they can't afford the homes and the upkeep." For Rokakis, the fight against the banks has been lost. "This was a war", he said. "We lost the war and what we're doing now... this clean-up is basically burying the dead . From Journeyman Pictures.

It focuses on Cleveland and in so doing allows for some interesting comparisons with what's happened in Pittsburgh in the wake of deindustrialization and its uneven impacts in class, race, and gender terms. My main reservation is that, despite featuring some admirable people who have been trying to push back against the continuing waves of damage, the video's story is ultimately pretty depressing.] </span></div></div>

<br /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Pittsburgh's economic re-development has earned it the reputation as a 'most livable city.' But growing numbers of residents ask, 'livable for whom?' It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the reality of a growing divide between two Pittsburghs”one affluent, professional, and largely white, and the other low-income people with long-term roots in the region, largely people of color. Such patterns of growth, rising inequality, increased economic and racial segregation, and displacement of poor minority residents is the direct result of global level development processes. Globalized imperatives to promote markets and economic growth has exacerbated inequalities and divisions in cities around the world between elites and the people for whom the city is primarily a place to live and work. And around the world people are coming together to resist their displacement from their homes and communities. </span><br /> The [https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/global/ Global Studies Center] at the University of Pittsburgh is helping convene the Housing Summit as a space for residents to come together with organizers and experts from around the world to learn about and discuss the global and local forces affecting people's access to affordable housing and the efforts to address them. A series of public lectures, panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing. Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow Professor Jackie Smith, whose research focuses on social movement responses to globalization, is coordinating the initiative, with the help of a [[Steering Committee|steering committee]] of Pitt faculty and community leaders working in the most impacted neighborhoods. Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization. Participatory workshops are designed to help participants learn skills to help them end discrimination and displacement while building a movement for housing justice and human rights.<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/events/300221477006143%20 Facebook event]<br /> <br /><br />

A series of public lectures by [[Speakers|internationally known scholars and practitioners]], panels, workshops, and cultural events will facilitate learning and networking aimed at highlighting this issue on the public and policy agenda while advancing new thinking and community organization that can help Pittsburgh residents realize their human right to housing. Global Studies Center Faculty Fellow Professor Jackie Smith, along with a [[Steering Committee|steering committee]] of Pitt faculty and community leaders working in the most impacted neighborhoods, is coordinating the event. Keynote speakers, leaders in community activism, public policy, and scholarship, will contribute to discussions about the relationships between affordable housing, urban social movements, and globalization. Workshops are designed to help participants learn skills to help them end discrimination and displacement while building a movement for housing justice and human rights.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 15.3333px">The Housing Summit is being co-sponsored by a host of local labor and community organizations, including the Northside Coalition for Fair Housing, Hill District Consensus Group, Pittsburgh Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA), Pittsburgh Homes for All Coalition, La Casa San Jose, and others.
