This article is an exploration of the changing context of urban revitalization using Newark, New Jersey, and two of its neighborhoods. A key argument is that the 1990s and early 2000s mark a particularly significant moment in history for U.S. cities. First, cities are seeking a competitive position within a global economy. Second, neoliberal urban policy and a decentralized and partially dismantled welfare state leave local government with few redistributive resources, providing legitimancy to redevelopment that deconcentrates poverty and attracts middle-class residents. Third, dramatic rent gaps exist in their most impoverished neighborhoods. Local governments increasingly view housing development as an economic development strategy in wich gentrification is the preferred pattern of redevelopment.
