Inner-city residential restoration: the West End

Abstract

This article is concerned with the reapplication of procedures used by Mr. Wade D. Burns in his West End Restoration Project in other inner-city reviving and borderline neighborhoods. Besides a basic historical account, it includes an article written by Sheila Ochner about West End for publication, a descriptive outline requested by the mayor's office and a paper dealing with gentrification, a controversial evolution brought on by the revitalization process.
