Channel: Community Change In A Global Era [Spring 2020]
Date: 20/03/2020

Introduction: The topic for my presentation is: How can we as planners redevelop a historic community without creating gentrification or losing the culture and identity of that place.

Objectives: I hope to inform the community of how certain decisions that they make now can have negative outcomes in the years ahead. I hope my audience gains knowledge of gentrification and how it has a negative effect on historic communities. Hopefully, people will walk away with a sense of knowledge on how to move forward with redeveloping their neighborhoods.

Methods: My presentation method is going to be a power-point slideshow while I speak in front of my audience, I chose this method because I am comfortable talking in front of a crowd about a subject that I am passionate about, and I feel that I can get my point across clearly and people will better understand if I am in-person presenting and explaining an issue that others need to be aware of.  

Results: I am happy with the results, I just have to put a few finishing touches to make the project more interesting and appealing to others, I want to make sure everyone is understanding what the issue is and what can be done to prevent it, the research went well, however, I did have some issues with updated plans and trying to revise some of the older information that I had to current day development plans and projects that have already been started in the area.

Conclusion: I hope that my project helps others understand the issues that this community is faced with and hopefully after presenting they will care about the issue as much as I do.
