This transformation is changing East Liberty from a lower-income shopping district back to a mid- to upscale shopping and living zone, as it is said to have been during the neighborhood's heyday in the 1940s and 1950s. In the series, East Liberty is identified as a neighborhood seeking to redefine itself and regain its status as a viable, thriving community, as told through the stories of neighborhood developers, residents and business owners. Stakeholders such as East Liberty Development, Inc. address the need for community change to recreate a thriving business area. This series addresses the issues of race and class and the fears raised by the process of redevelopment and gentrification. One of the goals of the project is to give the audience a view of life and how events could affect each individual - even those who are not directly affected. Through this series, I hope to pass my first-hand experience on to a general audience as well as to the individuals whoa re directly affected by the revitalization projects."--Container.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=493305http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=492750Description: This pocket guide is an introduction to evidence-based practice systematic reviews, and meta-analysis for social work students practitioners, and scholars.
