Implications for Planning Policy of Neighborhood Resistance to Urban Renewal and Highway Proposals
People in low- and low-middle income areas possess a distinct way of life which appears to be not fully understood by planners. Their lives are often limited to and centered around their local neighborhoods and homes in a style quite different from that of the more mobile, more cosmopolitan middle class. Residents of low- and low-middle income areas in protest against housing and highway plans feel relatively helpless in their political relationship with planning and other governmental authorities. Apparent indifference or acquiescence to projects that would dislocate them from their homes and neighborhoods actually reflect feelings of impotence and fatalistic resignation to the workings of a political system seen as unjust and immovable. Genuine involvement of people in the planning of projects that would affect them would satisfy their desires to have as much control as possible over their own liveslives. (Author)
