Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HOPE VI is a major HUD plan meant to revitalize the worst public housing projects into mixed-income developments. Its philosophy is largely based on New Urbanism and the concept of Defensible space. The program began in 1992, with formal recognition in law in 1998. As of 2005, the program had distributed $5.8 billion through 446 federal block grants to cities for the developments, with the highest individual grant being $50 million. An exemplary precursor and inspiration to the HOPE VI model was the Columbia Point Housing Projects on Columbia Point in Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1954, and consisting of approximately 1,500 apartment units, they fell into disrepair and became quite dangerous and by the 1980s only 300 families lived there and the buildings were falling apart. Eventually, realizing the situation was almost hopeless, in 1984 Boston turned over the management, cleanup, planning and revitalization of the property to a private development firm Corcoran-Mullins-Jennison. The construction work for the new Harbor Point development began in 1986 and completed by 1990.
