FAQ About The Impact of Gentrification on Urban Cultural Landscapes
How can urban planning be used to address the challenges of gentrification?
Urban planning plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges posed by gentrification. It involves creating policies that promote equitable development, such as enforcing affordable housing quotas and safeguarding small businesses. Planners can also prioritize the preservation of cultural landmarks and facilitate community input in the decision-making process. Implementing inclusionary zoning, where developers are required to include a certain percentage of affordable housing, can help balance community composition.
