“…Dating back to 1848 and continuing through the twentieth century, discriminatory spatial and economic practices, buttressed by such ideologies, have contributed to both the "barrioization" (Camarillo 1979) and dispersal (e.g., through practices of urban renewal and freeway building) of Los Angeles's Mexican American population (Villa 2000). Partially in response to such practices, Chicana/o activists and scholars both in and following the 1960s Chicano Movement have placed issues of history and representation in civic landscapes at the forefront of contemporary struggles for social, political, and economic equality (Valle and Torres 2000;Villa 2000;Acuna 1996).…”

“Diversity” on Main Street? Branding Race and Place in the New “Majority-Minority” Suburbs

The emergence in the United States of an increasing number of spaces across the socioeconomic spectrum with majority nonwhite populations merits close attention because of these spaces' potential in reconfiguring historical and contemporary claims to place. In an era in which the neoliberalization of urban development has spurred local governments toward more active involvement in defining relationships between race, ethnicity, consumption, and space, "majority-minority" suburbs are particularly important sites of study. In the late 2000s, two branding campaigns in majority-Asian American and Latina/o municipalities in Los Angeles's San Gabriel Valley-a densely populated region popularly known as a "suburban Chinatown"-put forth specific discourses of race, ethnicity, and culture in attempts to actualize specific visions and claims to place, identity, and history. In doing so, these campaigns illuminated and reinforced larger racial, geographic, and ideological divides. "Diversity" on Main Street embraced pluralist multicultural discourses of the nation, while the "Golden Mile" proposal sought to showcase the transformation of a central thoroughfare by ethnic Chinese capital and immigration. A close examination and comparison of these two campaigns shows how struggles over race, geography, and history are intertwined in the contemporary identities of places and integral to the shaping of civic landscapes.

“…Boyle Heights and Logan Heights are important barrios, as they represent symbolic sites for a broader community beyond even the residents who currently live in these spaces. The barrio can be seen as an important form of Latino placemaking that draws on everyday lived experiences via forms of social, political, and cultural capital that exist in these neighborhoods (Arreola, 2004;Valle and Torres, 2000). Situating the barrio within an assets framing sheds light on how community residents were able to meaningfully guide the implementation of these TODs, and gain community benefits from these projects that initially threatened their barrios.…”

Line into Boyle Heights and the revitalization linked to Boyle Heights due to two TODs built in that neighborhood. I conclude from all four cases that TODs can help serve as catalysts for neighborhood revitalization in low-income communities by paying attention and building upon endogenous forms of cultural, political, financial and built capital that exist in these neighborhoods. Residents and neighborhood activists should play a meaningful role in the development process in order to make the new investments in these communities beneficial to these barrios. The new transportation infrastructure investments will increase pressures of gentrification and, hence, I offer specific strategies and tools that urban planners and transportation policymakers can implement to help create more equitable outcomes in these barrios while mitigating for gentrification risks. Strategies learned from these case studies include building affordable housing, supporting Latino culturally relevant public spaces (Latino/barrio placemaking), investing in community-based public arts, and collaborating with activists in the neighborhoods to make these TODs more community oriented.

“…In Black neighbourhoods, the Black pastor assumed the pivotal role as civil broker, while radicals were systematically marginalised (a similar situation was found in New York; see Katznelson 1981). As the Catholic Church played a marginal role in Latino politics, a handful of community development organisations assumed a similar role in Latino neighbourhoods (Pulido 2002;Valle and Torres 2000).…”
