Notes
  • The hyper-marginalized status of the homeless makes them particularly vulnerable to processes of urban restructuring, including Downtown renewal. Downtown Los Angeles is a focal point of homelessness and urban revitalization. Within this context, I examine some of the effects of revitalization on the homeless using Los Angeles' Skid Row as a case study. Through a series of interviews with individuals involved in, or impacted by, Downtown redevelopment, this research identifies some of the indirect impacts of revitalization on the homeless. I explore various stakeholders' perceptions and reactions as homelessness and revitalization intersect and I present their thoughts on how revitalization can be made more equitable for those involved. I conclude that understanding the subtle and indirect impacts of revitalization on homelessness can contribute to our knowledge of these two contemporary urban processes. Key words: revitalization, homelessness, Los Angeles.
