The Philadelphia Barrio: The Arts, Branding, and Neighborhood TransformationUniversity of Chicago Press, 1 ÁÔ.Â. 2011 - 208 ˹éÒ How does a so-called bad neighborhood go about changing its reputation? Is it simply a matter of improving material conditions or picking the savviest marketing strategy? What kind of role can or should the arts play in that process? Does gentrification always entail a betrayal of a neighborhood’s roots? Tackling these questions and offering a fresh take on the dynamics of urban revitalization, The Philadelphia Barrio examines one neighborhood’s fight to erase the stigma of devastation. |
