New UniGR-CBS Working Paper: Borderland Dynamics Between North Park and Mid-City

The central areas of San Diego are undergoing a gradual redevelopment by the combined efforts of the municipality and the private sector, transforming low-income neighborhoods into areas favored by affluent populations. This is particularly the case in the neighborhood of North Park, which has been redeveloped in the last decades and has recently begun to expand eastward across two inner-city highways into the large Hispanic and Asian American community of Mid-City. The major commercial streets that connect these neighborhoods are seeing their differences renegotiated on various levels. The study proposes a theoretical framework to understand these multidimensional transformations and uses mixed methods to examine how redevelopment redefines boundaries, resulting in a hybrid urban borderland between North Park and Mid-City.
