- Abstract:
- The physical construction of urban space has a concrete impact on the lives of
those who inhabit it. However, the development and redevelopment of some
neighborhoods has differed from that of others, and the disparity in the qualities and
environment of constructed urban space is closely intertwined with the social relations of
a particular community. This thesis explores the processes of redevelopment in the
historically segregated neighborhood of Coconut Grove in Miami, Florida. It reviews the
development history of the neighborhood, as well as recent development issues that serve
as focal points of interaction between residents, developers and municipal government. It
also examines the development of the neighborhood through an environmental justice
perspective with a critical examination of the distribution of environmental costs and
benefits in the community. It ends with a review of some of the cultural factors
influencing development and resistance strategies used by residents of the West Grove.
