Urban Revitalization on the Upper West Side of Manhattan: An Urban Managerialist Assessment
研究了1970至1980年间曼哈顿上西区城市复兴中机构管理者的作用，发现地方和全市机构推动了该区域从多元向同质富裕的转变，并影响了升级的地理焦点和社区转型规模。
An emergent area of research on urban revitalization has focused on the influence of city managers and institutions. This framework, termed urban managerialism, is utilized to examine the linkages between institutional structure and reinvestment on the Upper West Side in Manhattan between 1970 and 1980. The results of this study suggest that a wide range of local and city-wide institutions played a major role in transforming an ethnically and racially diverse setting into one of greater homogeneity and affluence. Institutional involvement was instrumental in defining both the geographical focus of upgrading within the neighborhood and the more general magnitude of community transformation. This research framework offers insight into questions of supply and constraint and its effects on revitalization not fully addressed by competing research perspectives.
