Harley EtienneIn a Creative Loafing article, Harley Etienne, Assistant Professor of Public Policy and City and Regional Planning, discusses City of Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed's plans to transform and revitalize the English Avenue neighborhood. "The mayor appears to be interested in kick-starting the redevelopment of English Avenue by re-creating the now defunct Mims Park. Residents may welcome this much-needed amenity but wonder why this is the city's response to their problems. The key to the neighborhood future lies with the residents who already have invested their money and lives. The revitalization and transformation of English Avenue may take longer if we hold off on design-driven development — but if we do, we might get closer to a more durable neighborhood by making revitalization about the people who have been there all along."
