This, in turn would alleviate some of the aggravation that is experienced. It takes the city to not favor certain neighborhoods over others for gentrification or beautification projects. I think public spaces, investment in local business, outlets for youth and infrastructure should also go into “immigrant “neighborhoods to attract people that would not usually find themselves there. In the realty of the way things work, this will probably get the city to extend the public tranpso lines much faster once they see the city people’s demand to visit these areas.

Moreover, if a city really wanted to grant access, I think it should look into planning more economically diverse neighborhoods and buildings, so that immigrants and lower-income ppl don’t have to live in poorer, isolated conditions. From my experience, the best way to learn about a different group of people and culture is to live with or beside them as neighbors.

Therefore, only creating a space for people to patronize or voice frustrations , and then sending them back to their respective enclaves isn’t my idea of a responsible metropolis.

I am pleased to come across your site. I appreciate the thoughts shared and the information you present. My team and I at Casa di Culture also engage in understanding and conveying many of the topics you discuss on here; however, we try to present it visually.
