摘要
In the late 1990s, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development has funded a large-scale effort, known as HOPE VI, intended to redevelop dozens of the country's most devastated public housing projects. This article surveys the socio-economic and physical decline of these projects and explores current redevelopment strategies. Drawing mostly upon two ongoing HOPE VI revitalization efforts in Boston, and comparing these to four earlier large-scale redevelopment attempts in that city, the article points to a growing desire to use public housing redevelopment as a means to build more economically diverse communities.
