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.
