Abstract
Field research in fifteen cities in the United States and Canada reveals that planning departments working with nonprofit local development corporations (LDCs) and for-profit developers are rejuvenating central city East Asian villages. LDCs are instrumental in formulating strategic plans and negotiating community benefits. Implementation includes special district designation, revising land use and zoning codes to permit low-density mixed residential-commercial development, developing design and streetscape standards, and increasing community access, capacity, and resources. Where villages serve as immigrant reception areas or sanctuaries for elderly non-English-speaking Asians, providing community social services and health programs, preserving and expanding low-and moderate-income affordable housing, creating jobs, and encouraging business diversification are important priorities.
