... they have created multiple initiative groups to alleviate the struggles of marginalized people in this area. Pantry One of the initiatives HUR is tackling this semester is food injustice in D.C, specifically within D.C wards 7 and 8. Both Wards are classified as food deserts, which means accessing affordable, good- quality food is extremely difficult. Within these areas, there tends to be a high concentration of low-income, minority residents. Almost 30% of D.C ward 7’s population and 40% of D.C ward 8’s population lives below the poverty line. For the entirety of ward 8, there are only 2 grocery stores. In comparison, ward 3, which contains an upper-middle class, white population, has 11 grocery stores. Combined with the mass gentrification of these areas and the lack of affordable transportation, more people of color are experiencing the effects of homelessness and regular hunger. The pantry initiative was created to battle this injustice....

...r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t This paper examines whether the economic gains experienced by low-income neighborhoods in the 1990s followed patterns of classic gentrification (as frequently assumed) — that is, through the in migration of higher income white, households, and out migration (or displacement) of the original lower income, usually minority residents, spurring racial transition in the process. Using the internal Census version of the American Housing Survey, we find no evidence of heightened displacement, even among the most vulnerable, original residents. While the entrance of higher income homeowners was an important source of income gains, so too was the selective exit of lower income homeowners. Original residents also experienced differential gains in income and reported greater increases in their satisfaction with their neighborhood than found in other lowincome neighborhoods. Finally, gaining neighborhoods were able to avoid the losses of white households that non-gaining low income tracts experienced, and were thereby more racially stable rather than less. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

...Culturally Competent Nursing Care In America today we have a vast diversity in the ethnic, religious, nationality and sexual orientation of people. Patients that come under our care today present with many different clinical symptoms that require medical attention, these symptoms may also differ from illness to illness but will also be based on some cultural aspects of the patients background. As patients move through the hospital, dialysis unit or other healthcare facility it is important for care takers not to just address the clinical needs of the patient but also identify each patient’s demographics and personal characteristics. Most healthcare facilities focus on the illness and how they can treat the patient while avoiding mistakes that impact quality and safety, not really treating the patient’s as individualizes. Patients have specific needs and characteristics both clinical and non-clinical that affect the way they receive, view and participate in their treatment. There is an overwhelming body of research that shows certain patient populations have poorer outcomes, experience decreased patient safety, and receive a lower quality of care based on race, sexual orientation, language, and disability. Further studies reveal that incorporating cultural competence and patient-family centered care will increase compliance to treatment and satisfaction (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2006). In the past nurse-patient communication was considered to be a patient’s...

...The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/1742-2043.htm CPOIB 5,1/2 Wrong assumptions in the financial crisis Manuel B. Aalbers Amsterdam Institute for Metropolitan and International Development Studies, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show how some of the assumptions about the current financial crisis are wrong because they misunderstand what takes place in the mortgage market. Design/methodology/approach – The paper discusses four wrong assumptions: one related to regulation, one to leveraging, one to subprime lending and one to predatory lending. It briefly discusses some policy implications. Findings – The role of the state in the mortgage market is more complex than suggested by those who blame the state for not doing anything. The concept of leveraging can explain, at least in part, why the losses in financial markets are bigger than the losses in the housing market. Many subprime loans were sold to prime borrowers. Subprime lending was not designed to increase homeownership rates, but to fuel profits by exploiting vulnerable borrowers. Practical implications – It is too easy to argue that everyone made mistakes; most borrowers cannot be blamed for being sold risky, overpriced loans. A rescue plan is needed for defaulting borrowers and those already in foreclosure. Originality/value – The paper does not present new research, but brings together...

...Scott / CULTURAL-PRODUCTS INDUSTRIES REVIEW / March 2004 10.1177/1078087403261256 URBAN AFFAIRS ARTICLE CULTURAL-PRODUCTS INDUSTRIES AND URBAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Prospects for Growth and Market Contestation in Global Context University of California, Los Angeles ALLEN J. SCOTT The article begins with a brief definition of the cultural economy. A first generation of local economic development policy approaches based on place marketing and associated initiatives is described. The possibilities of a more powerful second-generation approach are then sketched out with special emphasis on localized complexes of cultural-products industries. An extensive review and classification of these complexes is laid out, and their inward and outward relations to global markets are considered. On this basis, a critical discussion of local economic policy options focused on cultural-products industries is offered. Contrasting examples of development initiatives in major global cities, in selected old manufacturing towns, and in the Multimedia Super Corridor of Malaysia are briefly presented. It is suggested that the growth and spread of localized production agglomerations based on cultural-products industries are leading not to cultural uniformity but to greatly increased diversity at the global level. Keywords: agglomeration; cultural economy; globalization; industrial districts; local economic development; place marketing Over the past decade or so, the industrial profile...

...ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY Y U K O A O YA M A J A M E S T. M U R P H Y SUSAN HANSON KEY CONCEPTS IN key concepts in economic geography The Key Concepts in Human Geography series is intended to provide a set of companion texts for the core fields of the discipline. To date, students and academics have been relatively poorly served with regards to detailed discussions of the key concepts that geographers use to think about and understand the world. Dictionary entries are usually terse and restricted in their depth of explanation. Student textbooks tend to provide broad overviews of particular topics or the philosophy of Human Geography, but rarely provide a detailed overview of particular concepts, their premises, development over time and empirical use. Research monographs most often focus on particular issues and a limited number of concepts at a very advanced level, so do not offer an expansive and accessible overview of the variety of concepts in use within a subdiscipline. The Key Concepts in Human Geography series seeks to fill this gap, providing detailed description and discussion of the concepts that are at the heart of theoretical and empirical research in contemporary Human Geography. Each book consists of an introductory chapter that outlines the major conceptual developments over time along with approximately twenty-five entries on the core concepts that constitute the theoretical toolkit of geographers working within a specific subdiscipline. Each entry provides...

...Progress in Planning 64 (2005) 69–175 www.elsevier.com/locate/pplann Global city making in Singapore: a real estate perspective Sun Sheng Han Department of Real Estate, School of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore, 4 Architecture Drive, Singapore, Singapore 117566 CHAPTER 1 Introduction ‘Global city’ is a notion popularly cited among planning academics and practitioners in describing some strategic places in the world economy. Pioneer researchers in this area define global cities as basing points of capital in a world economy (Friedmann, 1986: 71); production centres of specialized information services such as financial services, media services, educational and health services, and centres of tourism (Hall, 1998: 24); and centres for servicing and financing international trade, investment and headquarters operations (Sassen, 2004: 171). Summarizing those perspectives and recognizing the influence of a new economy, which can be characterized as informational, global and networked (Castells, 2000: 27), global cities can be seen as the urban nodes where globalization materializes so that they are (1) highly concentrated command points in the organization of the world economy; (2) key locations for finance and specialized service firms; (3) sites of production of innovation; (4) markets for the products and innovations produced (Sassen, 2001: 3 and 4). Taylor (2004) has argued that these perspectives involve understanding just the attributes of cities and...
