City & Community Essay

Policy initiatives to deconcentrate poverty throught mixed-income redevelopment were motivated in part by thr desire to reduce social isolation and soical disorganization in high-poverty neighborhoods. This article examines wherther the presence of higher-imcome neighbors decreased soical organization in a Boston public housing project that was redeveloped into a HOPE VI mixed-income community. Based on in-depth interviews and neighborhood observation, I find that it was the lower-income former public housing residents who were primarily involved in creating neighborhood-based social ties, providing and receiving social support, and enforcing social control within neighborhood, rather than the higher-income newcomers.
