Socioeconomic
Structure In Los Angeles As A Stimulus For The 1992 Riots
[ send
me this paper ]
A 9 page research paper on social conditions which caused
the eruption of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. The writer
posits that the Rodney King verdict was merely a final
stimulus ('the straw that broke the camel's back') for the
ensuing violence but that various other social, economic,
cultural, and demographic factors contributed to it as
well. Conflict, race relations, and immigration to South
Central Los Angeles are of particular importance in this
insightful sociopolitical analysis. Bibliography lists 9
sources.

Recycling
Cities' Industrial Areas
[ send
me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing decay in downtown Detroit, the
renovation of the L&N Railroad terminal in Knoxville,
Tennessee and the conversion of tobacco warehouses in
Durham, North Carolina to a pedestrian shopping mall.
These beautiful old buildings that have been sitting
vacant for decades can have a positive effect on the areas
around them. Narrow, twisting streets may not be conducive
to using them again as industrial sites, but there are
higher and better uses available. Whether used for shops,
restaurants, offices, apartments or a combination, cities'
old industrial areas can become vital once again, and in
ways never originally intended. Bibliography lists 4
sources.
