if you were a senator, what specific bill would you propose to help uplift the urban developmentalization.?

Answer 1

developmentalization?
I believe you are asking about redevelopment.

The answer is ...none.

The market place is about to do for us what government incentives and other programs failed to do. You see, land prices and commuting costs in the suburbs are exceeding what developers (and their potential customers) want to spend. As a result, they are looking into re-development of urban areas.

Example: Seattle is becoming a "condo capital." Former apartment buildings are being upgraded and sold as condos. The people who were living there cannot afford to buy so they have to move elsewhere.

So the problem with re-development is when it occurs (as it occurs), the current residents will not be able to afford to live there.

Answer 2

In my days in graduate studies of Urban Planning, we didn't use such terms as "uplift" and "developmentalization", although we had our generic "pie-in-the-sky" vocabulary used to promote some ideology. My first recommendation to you, in addition to what "TheOnlyBeldin" 's answered, is to get out of the frame of mind of "urban" and "urban developmentalization". That is a very outdated and rigid mentality that will not resolve the messy problems you find in big cities, from the east coast to the west coast and the south west and South. To try to build on what is there, and has been there for generations, is a mistake "from the git-go". The only problem is that we've invested so many billions of dollars in that system, which was good when the urban areas were first developed in the "industrial age", that to seemingly abandon them now seems incomprehensible, but I can guarantee you, since I've studied this since the early 1970's, that NOTHING you can do will resolve the "problems". First there has to be a HUGE re-thinking on our socio-economic issues, and without that re-thinking, you can forget the rest. Once you have people more willing to initiate their own socio-economic advancement as opposed to waiting on someone (big government) to do for them, you will begin to "uplift" the "urban developmentalization" ( I still think our term "urban renewal" was easier to work with since it had fewer syllables and much fewer letters in it). Then, if you think that the traditional "urban" framework needs to continue, you can develop economic and utility infrastructures that can service the new development, but if we continue on the same lines we have now, from socio-economic mismanagement to utility infrastructures, we can forget any real/meaningful/worthwhile improvements (uplifting/renewal). God Bless you.

Answer 3

The Urban relocation act of 2007.

Relocate people OUT of these cities which have no industry.
Face it few major cities have any real Industry. Crack dealing, gang bangin, welfare recipient, and living in a cardboard box are NOT real jobs.

Why would you stack 5000 people within a one block area, when their job (if they have one) is located 2 hrs away?? When they could live in a decent neighborhood/home 2 hrs OUTSIDE of said city, and return when they wanted to do things located in said city.

I view most major cities as nothing more than a SUPER MALL anyway.

Answer 4

Have cities eliminate their income taxes and lower property taxes. If you want people to stay in a city, you have to give them economic incentive to do so.
