In reply to: Nadeen Kharputly wrote a new post on the site Ethnic Diversity in the City Hi everyone, Please reply to this thread with your responses (150-300 words) to this week’s readings. Some guidelines for f […] ViewThis week’s topic is refugees. With the refugee crisis in Europe that happened in 2016, this topic had been a hotbed of debate. The article that surprised me the most was the citylab article: “Even Liberals Can Be Refugee NIMBYs” Even the most blue-blooded liberals could be the ones opposed to having refugees settling in their communities. The m…[Read more]

Some g […] ViewThis week’s readings were very eye-opening. With the modern technology, it allows both allies and foes of the undocumented immigrants to develop themselves. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is now able to “data mine” or discover patterns in collected data to discover which spots are hotspots, and conduct raids based on the information. My hope…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewThis week’s readings concern immigration. As an immigrant myself, I was always curious to know the circumstances and the process that led to others’ immigration. I was 7 years old when I came to the US from Japan, and I had a relatively easy time adjusting to US life, but I do realize with the readings this week that immigration can take many for…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewThis week’s readings were focused on the concept of the gentrification of an area, and the unexpected downsides that a “benefit” like gentrification can bring. Other than skyrocketing rent prices and an increase in homelessness, gentrification can also be life-threatening to communities that are masked for “society’s benefit.” After reading the…[Read more]

Before reading this article, a “ghetto” had two meanings: A segregated location where people were cramped into, such as the Warsaw ghetto, and another definition (according to Urban dictionary) urban city life stricken with poverty. I had not tho…[Read more]

Some g […] ViewThis week’s focus is how to “characterize the modern city.” Although most would characterize a city based only on their own experiences, this week’s readings gave us a variety of viewpoints on the status of their city, as well as how they would describe them. Each of the articles suggests how complex a city is to operate: what benefits one group,…[Read more]
