The purpose of this project is to determine the impact of a redevelopment master plan on the existing population surrounding the project area. In the Spring of 2014, the City of Hartford, Connecticut and Utile prepared a redevelopment Master Plan for a portion of their downtown titled "Downtown North / Downtown West: A Plan for the City of Hartford". The Downtown North (DoNo) section of the plan area consists of vacant lots, parking lots, and underutilized properties, many city-owned, which appear prime for redevelopment. My research questions and analysis focus on the housing portion of this Master Plan in the DoNo neighborhood, and examine the social justice impacts of the potential redevelopment. Abutting this area is the wealthy and more expensive Downtown and in contrast with the low-income, minority, and marginalized neighborhoods of Clay Arsenal, Upper Albany, and Asylum Hill. My main research questions are as follows. Will the Master Plan provide enough housing to meet the future needs of market rate and affordable housing in the project area? Will the potential influx of new residents spill over into the adjacent Clay Arsenal, Asylum Hill, and Upper Albany neighborhoods and cause the displacement of residents? Throughout the year long process of conducting this research project, the City contracted the New Britain Rock Cats to move to the DoNo and agreed to construct a $56 million minor league baseball stadium for them. A developer submitted a proposal in response to the City's Request for Proposals (RFP) for the stadium and included a $350 million mixed-use neighborhood development around the stadium. The evolution of this project has given me the opportunity to also compare the developer's proposal, which is in the final negotiations with the City Council, to the original redevelopment Master Plan. The DoNo redevelopment Master Plan and subsequent proposal struggle to balance needed economic development to the neighborhood, the City, and existing residents. This critical piece (DoNo) of the City has formed a gap between Downtown and the surrounding North End neighborhoods. The City is at an exciting time in its history with the opportunity to heal the scars of the early generations of urban renewal that left much of DoNo vacant and underutilized, and shifted resources and amenities away from the North End and into Downtown.

The process of urban/neighborhood revitalization involves the economic and physical upgrade of disinvested or blighted urban areas. Over time, these methods have come to involve a wide variety of approaches and practices that seek to reinvest in struggling districts and neighborhoods. The redevelopment of brownfields and the provision of mixed-income housing have been two critical tools of urban revitalization in the United States. Despite the success and popularity of these approaches, criticism has arisen due to the potential displacement of poorer residents (called "gentrification") as a result effective revitalization. The causes, outcomes and methods of avoiding gentrification are widely-debated in both the literature and in public settings. Regardless of actual gentrification occurrence, the perception that it could occur has fostered resistance to revitalization efforts. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, this research analyzes urban revitalization in Middletown, Connecticut through the use of brownfield redevelopment and mixed-income housing development. In analyzing this case study, the researcher investigated whether or not these two methods of urban revitalization are linked with a process of gentrification. This research also addresses how the formation of citizen groups can shape neighborhood revitalization processes through representing the residents of a changing city.
