    Redevelopment Sensitivity For The Changing Urban Fabric
    (Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, 2009-03-06) Rife, Jacob
    The future Central Corridor light rail transit (LRT) line provides an opportunity to transform the Twin Cities urban fabric. The Corridor, connecting the two downtowns, includes many destinations such as the University of Minnesota and the State Capitol. New development along the Corridor has the opportunity to utilize transit-oriented design and reduce dependence on the private automobile. This type of development is nothing new to the Twin Cities as it is currently occurring along the Hiawatha LRT line. New physical and economic growth has started to transform this industrial landscape into a mixed use, pedestrian environment. The study area, University Avenue (Lexington Parkway to Rice Street), presents a prime opportunity for transit-oriented development (TOD) to occur (Image: lower right). However, the Central Corridor is not running down a street with a blank slate. Since the early 1900s the area along University Avenue between Lexington Avenue and Rice Street has exhibited a unique community identity. This unique area has been home for several ethnic communities which have seen this area grow and evolve. The purpose of this report is to present a way in which development can occur along University Avenue, between Lexington Parkway and Rice Street which is compatible with the community and supportive of future LRT. The paper will first consider the larger context of the Central Corridor LRT, the physical conditions of the community, and the demographics within the area. Then, there will be an illustration showing the development potential within the project limits. Finally, a site plan will convey a plan for future development within the area.

    Three Essays on Housing Affordability in Chinese Cities
    (2023-07) Wang, Yi
    Housing policy and state-led redevelopment programs play central roles in the production of urban inequality in Chinese cities. Despite the potentially adverse impact of state-led redevelopment on marginalized population, studies that examines the interconnectedness of redevelopment, housing affordability, and migrants’ health have been rare. Using data compiled from the Beijing Municipal Government, the real estate brokerage company Lianjia, the Census Bureau, and the National Health Commission, the three essays fill in the current research gap by understanding the geography of rental affordable housing in recent years, examining the causal relationship between state-led redevelopment and rental housing affordability, and investigating the relationship between declining housing affordability and migrant health. The results suggest that (1) rental housing in Chinese cities has become less affordable in recent years partially due to the state-led urban redevelopment; and (2) the declining housing affordability jeopardizes migrant workers’ residential stability and health.
