Abstract
Gentrification is a common phenomenon in the low income neighborhoods with major disadvantage of the displacement of the locals. Center Peace is a low income neighborhood dominated by African Americans which is in decay over the past years. Gentrifying Center Peace would have a major disadvantage of displacement of people as most of the habitants are renters. However, this can be avoided by capacity building and enhancing economic and social capital of the neighborhood. This project focuses to keep all the positive impacts of revitalization while eliminating displacement of residents and the destruction of culture.
