Greater Normandie Neighborhoods. Residential Regeneration Strategies and Programs
The Normandie Neighborhood Development Program, a 1,750-acre residential rehabilitation project in a depressed area of Central Los Angeles containing 50,000 population, sought to upgrade the physical and socioeconomic quality of in-city disadvantaged neighborhoods. Housing regeneration strategies were analyzed, primarily based upon the recognition that a community the scale of Greater Normandie must depend upon its own reinvestment for continued vitality. Concepts of massive clearance and redevelopment, or mere maintenance and rehabilitation were rejected as unsatisfactory solutions. The 'infill' concept was developed for establishing a continuous, self-recycling process to regenerate neighborhoods. It envisions new construction with accompanying physical changes, introduced on a small scale into the existing urban fabric so as not to upset the community's socioeconomic equilibrium. The primary objective of this approach is not just to increase the housing supply, but provide new housing to replace rundown structures, thereby eliminating major blighting influence and restoring investment confidence. Using this procedure, vacant and rundown properties could be systematically redeveloped without forcing premature obsolescence or clearance of existing sound units. The infill concept is intended to minimize major reloaction and replacement of present resident population and to be more adaptable and sensitive to the needs of predominantly single-family neighborhoods.
