Book Description
Excerpt from Chinatown Community Plan: A Proposal The Chinatown Community Plan was produced by Asian Neighborhood Design, the Chinatown Neighborhood Improvement Resource Center, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce with assistance from professionals in the fields of planning, housing, and architecture. The Community Plan is intended to serve as a framework for discussion of critical planning issues for Chinatown and to stimulate participation in the City's rezoning process. The Plan represents a response from three organizations to the issue papers circulated by the Department of City Planning over the past six months. Chinatown Is A Neighborhood San Franciscos Chinatown is many things to many people: A waystation immigrants from Asia. for new A shopping and cultural district serving Chinese Americans throughout the Bay Area. One of San Franciscos major tourist attractions. A neighborhood for low-income elderly and families. A supportive environment of small businesses, community services, social and recreational facilities. Perhaps the greatest difficulty in charting a future for Chinatown is the very fact that Chinatown has served such a diversity of roles. Inherently, different visions of Chinatowns future are based upon how these many Chinatown roles are weighed: how we define Chinatown. This Plan bases its recommendations on one premise- that Chinatown is a community. We believe that a community should be defined by its people, its institutions, and by its physical form.

Book Description
The Chinese have become a vibrant part of Toronto’s multiculturalism, with no less than seven Chinatowns created since 1984. Short-listed for the 2013 Speaker’s Book Award and for the 2012 Heritage Toronto Award The modest beginnings of the Chinese in Toronto and the development of Chinatown is largely due to the completion of the CPR in 1885. No longer requiring the services of the Chinese labourers, a hostile British Columbia sent them eastward in search of employment and a more welcoming place. In 1894 Toronto’s Chinese population numbered fifty. Today, no less than seven Chinatowns serve what has become the second-largest visible minority in the city, with a population of half a million. In these pages, you will find their stories told through historical accounts, archival and present-day photographs, newspaper clippings, and narratives from old-timers and newcomers. With achievements spanning all walks of life, the Chinese in Toronto are no longer looking in from outside society’s circle. Their lives are a vibrant part of the diverse mosaic that makes Toronto one of the most multicultural cities in the world.

Book Description
Gentrification and displacement of low-income communities of color are major issues in New York City and the city’s zoning policies are a major cause. Race matters but the city ignores it when shaping land use and housing policies. The city promises “affordable housing” that is not truly affordable. Zoned Out! shows how this has played in Williamsburg, Harlem and Chinatown, neighborhoods facing massive displacement of people of color. It looks at ways the city can address inequalities, promote authentic community-based planning and develop housing in the public domain. Tom Angotti frames the revised edition of this seminal work with a tribute to the late urbanist and architect Michael Sorkin and his progressive and revolutionary approaches to cities as well as a new preface about changes in city policy since Mayor Bill de Blasio left office and what rights citizens need to defend. The book includes a foreword by the late, distinguished urban planning educator Peter Marcuse and individual chapters by community activist Philip DePaola, housing policy analyst Samuel Stein, and both the editors.
