Cars are very big symbol of identity: people opt for the most popular car, even though they are not the best for the environmentii. ii. Low social capital, there is a lot of alienation: in this age cohort, kids and parents are alienated, because parents don’t know what they are doing, social nihilism: lack of buying into the social contract (ex.

This age cohort is understanding that graduating from college and living in the suburbs is not a great lifei. Ex. Back then people get license at 18, but now some people don’t all have licensesb. This age cohort, people want to live in cities where things are happening and you can go out and meet new people and form new connectionsc. Educated people in the past like to live in suburbs, but now young people are gravitating more towards citiesi. This is because young people are looking for convenience (people can walk to stores, doctor’s offices, etc.), people want to be able to walk places, cultural amenities,1. America is most separated by age (ex. Old people, young people, kids, can all go to pubs together in many countries)2. America has an inability to mix with older generations, young people don’t have the ability to extract wisdom from older generationsd. Smart growth is investing money to promote efficiencyi. Objectives of Smart growth: getting people out of cars, creating more active living (walking/ using public transit), keep more money in local economy, by purchasing foods locally, convince more people to live in city by providing entertainment and things to do,ii. Criticism of Smart Growth: expensive, no short term gratification so people are not as interested,iii. Libertarian groups: are opponents, they do not like because they believe it is big government, takes away individual freedom1. Agenda 21: biggest obstacle to smart growth, think smart growth is a way to take away freedom of Americans and to impose global dictatorship on use. Smart cities do the same thing, but layers on technologyi. Gentrification: problem with smart growth: increases housing cost of living1. White flight: migration of people out of city2. Redlining: bank use this as a way to determine what kinds of mortgages to give to certain neighborhoodsa. Risky for banks to invest in neighborhoods that have a certain number of minoritiesb. Banks are a huge pusher of sprawlc. Knocked out possibilities for children of low income families are very slimd. Paris: ethnic distribution, inner cities are full of high income people and outer city is where more low income people liveENST 201 1st Edition Lecture 23Outline of Last Lecture I.

Cars are very big symbol of identity: people opt for the most popular car, even though they are not the best for the environmentf. Lack of public space, In Conyers there is almost no public spacei. Importance of Public space: provides free place for people to relax and meet other people, people can form networks and relationships that can be transformative, gives people a place to exhibit political expression, people are exposed to more viewpoints, so they can learn about social norms, if things are frowned upon etc. These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
