Gentrification, Revitalization, and Feral Communities
Gentrification is an upward shift in income, education,
occupational levels, and house values. Gentrification has a
general effect on the increase in inequality by widening the gap
between the poor and the rich in the society (Lees, 2015). On

2. the other hand, revitalization is restoring something to an active
condition by investing in the community mainly on the resident
parts (Xian & Chen, 2015). Additionally, a feral community is a
metropolis with a population of more than one million
individuals in the state. In feral communities, the structures
continue to grow, and the majority of the occupants do not
voluntarily leave. ]
Therefore, there are several negative and positive effects posed
by gentrification, revitalization, and feral communities. For
example, The positive effects that are associated with the
gentrification shortly are that there will be an increase in the
tax revenue in the community as gentrification seeks to bring
more people to the community area with a wide range of interest
in developing the community and funding various businesses.
Additionally, there will be a boost in the local economy in the
future as there is the introduction of the wealthy groups into the
community seeking to improve the economy of the particular
community. Also, revitalisation seeks to improve the physical
and social environments in the community which have been
deposited hence improving the community standards,
The negative effects caused is that there is an increasing
number of crime in the community areas as several youths are
found to be unemployed; hence they resort to crime and
violence in the community. Additionally, there is the issue of
inequality where several individuals are discriminated in
various aspects and hence are not able to receive the various
services like education hence there are the disparity issues.
Moreover, there is also the issue of the inefficient healthcare
system as there has been an increased aging population without
the proper healthcare condition that they deserve. Additionally,
gentrification has also seen the collapse of various business in
the black community areas while in the white sectors,
businesses continue as usual. This has the effect of segregation
and inequality arises.

4. Gentrification
Gentrification / An upward shift in income, house values,
education and occupational levels (in class), which almost
always means increasing inequality and a widening gap between
the more and the less successful
Revitalization
Revitalization / a renewed pride and investment in a community,
mainly on the part of the residents, without a big class shift
Defining the Feral Community
A metropolis with a population of more than a million people in
a state
the government of which has lost the ability to maintain the rule
of law within the city’s boundaries yet remains a functioning
actor in the greater international system
The community’s structures range from great buildings
symbolic of wealth to ghetto’s and massive unemployment.
These communities continue to grow and the majority of
occupants do not voluntarily leave.

Community Engagement Organization and Development and
Communities Of the Future
Key questions for the future:
What are the main challenges & opportunities influencing
public health practitioners (PHP)?
What are the strategies for establishing a healthy public health
environment for ALL citizens and move the community
forward?
What are the key elements of any inner-city community that
must be addressed to establish a healthy community?
(Covers: people, knowledge, natural resources, technical
infrastructure, finances, political aspects, and cultural values

7. that a community embodies)
Resources for Communities of the Future (COF)
Intellectual & Social Capital
Community leadership, key people, knowledge and skills
Social capital / informal and formal relationships that
characterize a community
Inclusive Capital
Interactions of community partners through:
Social media
Coalitions
Partnerships
Cultural Capital
Public Health practitioners must identify values, behaviors and
public expressions
Environmental Capital
Sustainability: Natural, clean, green, safe and attractive
resources
Technical Capital
Social media, man-made capital and existing community
infrastructure
Effective communication, transport, housing, water, energy,
medical……
Financial Capital
Financial strategies for communities of the future (COF) must
deal with growing demands and diminishing revenue bases

8. Strategic Social Analysis
The gleaning of intelligence learned from the past but, most
importantly, understanding the likely direction of the future and
is directly related to “intelligent communities (ICs)”
Intelligent communities: develop their strengths and eliminates
their weaknesses through three processes 1) vision 2) ideas 3)
strategy
Analyzes
Reaches conclusions
Defines its present reality
Public Health Practitioners’ Approaches to Trends
Inactive / No interpretation of trends, ignoring all present and
future trends
Reactive / Responding to the agenda of others as set by the
community, institution, or agency for which they are employed
Proactive / Making detailed plans for the future and settings
trends based on exiting knowledge, incorporating community
needs, and institutional agendas
Interactive / Shaping and responding to changing trends over
time

9. Defining Mega Trends
An event or occurrence that affects the majority of areas of
civil, business and public life
Globalization – Global companies and economies work in local
competition within global structures. Global and local must be
integrated.
Individualism - A social trend where individuals are
individualistic, informal, informed, interactive and yet
international in their thinking and behavior.
Merging – Areas of life merging together; technologies and
medicine; between culture and values; between work and
leisure; and between the public and private sectors.
Defining Mega Trends
An event or occurrence that affects the majority of areas of
civil, business and public life
Accelerated communication and social media – Rapid exchange
of information. Implications for administration, education,
health care, transportation, etc….
Urbanization – By 2030 an estimated 60% of the world’s
population will live in the inner cities. This metropolitanization
refers to the growing influence of large cities on the economic
health and prosperity of wider regions.
Migration – Increased global migration presents challenges and
opportunities. Challenges of social cohesion, integration, health
promotion and employment. Opportunities of knowledge
migration, where the knowledge and the skills of immigrant
communities can be harnessed to improve the community.

10. Challenges to Communities of the Future
Aging population – Healthcare system
Economic Restructuring – End of “lifelong” working
Disasters – Natural catastrophes, terrorism and epidemics
Crime – Safety and Security
Migration and immigration – people & knowledge
Segregation, disparity, inequality and poverty
Social Cohesion
Sustainable development and economic growth locally and
globally
Intelligent Communities
Must use all capital wisely – Human: Intellectual and social
capital, environmental capital, cultural and leisure capital,

11. financial capital, inclusive capital, technical capital.
15
Future Trends in CEOD
Transparency – Social Media Age
Including new forms of participants and empowerment
Development of partnerships
These major trends must be communicated within the society,
the economy and the politics of the community. Tasks and
responsibilities need to be assigned to the community at large
and at diverse levels. Dream Communities must organize
coalitions and boards for exchanges of ideas and creativity.

Gentrification can be seen to have more of a negative
outcome than a positive one. Gentrification helps move
populations in a city or town and betters the community by
look, residency, and redesign of buildings and companies.
Having all of the change can raise the income of those already
living in the area, that can cause the current residents to be
forced out of their own homes by increased house value and
rates. Revitalization is an investment in the community which
can be more positive because it can help motivate the

12. population to be active in the community. A feral community is
when more than a million people live in a single state. With
this, the government would not be able to maintain the law in
the community. This can have a negative impact for future
generations and cities because without an enforced law it can
damage communities and make populations unsafe to live in.

Need to Respond to this:
2. L. S.
According to the PowerPoint gentrification is when there is an
increasing shift in income, house values, education and job
levels (in class) , that then causes inequality to increases as well
as widening the gap between the rich and poor. On the other
hand revitalization is where a new investment or renew of a
community. When doing is the main focus be would on the
residents without having a “big class shift”. Lastly, defining the
feral community is a “metropolis with a population of more than
a million people in a state.” Gentrification can be seen as a
negative because it can change the cultural standards of the
neighborhood, makes some communities poorer, it raises the
cost to rent, and it causes the rich to get richer while the poor
become poorer. Then again, it could bring the city more money,
create new jobs, new housing opportunities and more.
Revitalization can affect the community in a positive way by
wanting to change starting with the grass root people. This can
then lead to a better and healthier community.
Need to Respond to this:
3. T. A.
How gentrification, revitalization and feral communities can
shape the communities of the future in both positive and

13. negative ways
Gentrification/ An upward shift in income, house values,
education and occupational levels (in class), it increasing
inequaliy in the community which is negtive thing for the lower
class.
Revitalization / a renewed pride and investment in a community,
mainly on the part of the residents, without a big class shift. I
think it is a postive and it can lead to succuss.
feral communities/ it is risky and capricious. With such a
gigantic hole between the wealthiest and least fortunate people
in the network, it's elusive great projects that address the
requirements of individuals in each class. This sets up a few
impediments for the future network in circumstances and with
respect to wellbeing abberations. It may set up the wealthiest
pieces of the network for a positive future, however the
negatives in this season of network are a lot more noteworthy.
Need to Respond to this:
4. M. A.
I imagine that Gentrification is the drawback to renewal. All
together for a network to be renewed I feel as if there must be
some sort of improvement. To revive a zone, I believe that
better training and living circumstances are typically required
and when you do this to a network people of center and
privileged will undoubtedly move to the territory in light of
improved conditions. Non domesticated networks are essentially
formed by these choices.
EXAMPL:
L. W.:
My target population is going to high schoolers with an
intellectual or developmental disability within Bowling Green,
KY. I chose this community because there is a lack of
preparedness for these individuals when transitioning from a

14. high school schedule to an adult life schedule. Many people do
not know, but when an individual with a disability turns 21
years old, they are no longer welcome back at their high school.
So whether your birthday is on the first day of school or the last
day of school, the day after you turn 21, you are no longer
permitted to be back in the high school. The challenge with this
is that since there is so little emphasis on transition, this slaps
many of these students in the face since they have had a routine
ingrained into their life since they were very young. For anyone
who's ever had a relationship with someone with a disability, it
is a known fact that this community best thrives on a consistent
schedule. So when that schedule is abruptly changed, behavioral
and emotional issues are often the after math while coping with
the adjustment. So for my project, I wanted to create a
coalition that would emphasize the need for transition from high
school to adult life. I believe that reaching out to relevant
organization leaders who advocate for these individuals, mental
health professionals, state leaders such as Matt Bevin, high
school teachers and even parents affected by these changes, we
can get insight and enough data to get a motion rolling for
change. By getting this information from these people, it will be
easier to build this program up with as many of sides of the
intervention as we'll have! Of course, then goals and strategies
will be created and utilized to build up the program.
By using the MAPP model, I will be thoroughly implementing
and promoting a program to instill change. By going through all
six phases of the MAPP model, you are insuring that you are
covering all of your bases in an organized fashion, while
challenging yourself to think of issues that may arise later, and
how to solve those issues. Since MAPP relies on partnerships
and participation from members, this is also a great way to
network and to use people's strengths to further your cause.
Hearing out your colleagues is important, and in fact, is part of
the 3 keys to MAPP!
THE Respond :
Dear L. W. :-

15. I realy appreciated your thinking about the target population
that going to high schoolers with an intellectual or
developmental disability within Bowling Green, KY, and how
you can improve this target by using the MAPP model. So, you
have a great idea about the target and you uesed the concept of
the MAPP that is a shift from a focus on the agency to a focus
on the community and the entire public health system. So, when
you discusses your target community, try to bring everyone’s
collective wisdom together to be hand by hand with you to
achieve a better society and great future for those people who
have the disability and facing difficult when they try to enter
the high school. Therefore, by gathering all of the assets and
resources within the community, the community is able to
determine how best to use collective wisdom to create a
healthier community. This MAPP process is a new way of doing
business, and improve our community life by a great strategic
planing tool.

The Other Exampl :
B.
The 12 Ethical Principles are very very similar to the 10
essential public health services. These ethical principles are
clarifying the distinctive elements of public health. They make
the services and principles clear to communities and
populations that they serve and give a standard that these
services should be held accountable to. The 12 principles also
define as a society what public health does for the community
and population that they serve.
The `12 principles of public health practices are based upon the
11 values and beliefs of public health. The values and beliefs
are a foundation for the principles to be built upon. The 11
values are assumptions of public health practice that are the
underlying for human and civil rights that are the underpinning
for the 12 principles.
Going into a community it is important to remember that the
members of the community have the best insight into what is

16. going on. These individuals have rights that have to be
respected. The individuals of the community must have trust in
the information that I am giving them, so adequate resources
and information are required. Collaborating with other health
agency to make a web of resources also help the education
process become more effective. Making sure it is prominent that
the purpose of the efforts is to better the community and that all
individuals can become involved. Empowering those individuals
to take control makes the program and efforts more effective. I
would need to make sure that every individual has the
knowledge and resources to make the decisions to make
changes. I would need to make sure all public health services
were available to the community. Following the code of ethics
would also lead to all conflicts and disputes being handled
properly.
THE Respond :
Dear B: I support your argument that 12 Ethical Principles and
ten essential public health services have major similarities.
However, I would like to understand some of the strategies used
by the public health departments in making codes guiding their
services and principles known to communities and populations
they serve. I also agree that values and beliefs play a significant
role in the development of public health principles.‫لفسأ‬
