Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 124-128).
Summary:
"Why should we, as citizens and planners, be concerned with the causes of
neighbourhood
decline? Despite theories that suggest decline is part of a
neighbourhood
's life cycle, this inquiry asserts that
neighbourhood
decline is not a natural process, but rather a condition influenced by
policy
,
planning
and investment decisions. It is ineffectual to suggest strategies for
neighbourhood
revitalisation without analysing and understanding the history of a
neighbourhood
. Therefore, utilising a
case
study approach, a historical and statistical analysis of the
Gottingen
Street
neighbourhood
in the north end of Halifax, Nova Scotia was conducted to examine its
change
. A once vibrant and diverse
street
,
Gottingen
Street
today exhibits classic signs of inner city
neighbourhood
decline, manifested through vacant buildings, decreased population, vacant lots, derelict buildings and a high rate of commercial transition. The following question guided the research: Is there a
relationship
between
policy
, investments and
neighbourhood
decline in the
Gottingen
Street
area over the fifty year period,
1950-2000
? What concurrent social and economic changes have occurred in the population, and how have these factors impacted the commercial corridor? The thesis objective was to analyse the
neighbourhood
through changes in the socio-economic profile of residents, changes in the commercial corridor inventory, and simultaneous
policy
and investment decisions."-- From the abstract.
