    The Double Bind of Redevelopment

Camden During Receivership
2009. David Greenberg, Nandita Verma, and David C. Seith.

This working paper finds that successful redevelopment efforts in Camden, New Jersey, under state receivership were able to build on groups’ existing capacities and their past work in neighborhoods, were marked by more effective participatory dynamics and the limited use of eminent domain, and benefited from good relationships with the State of New Jersey and with private-sector partners. It concludes that attempts to build public capacity to revitalize cities may need to be complemented by efforts to build civic capacity, or the ability to solve problems in coordination with major partners.
