While a burgeoning bar scene can be viewed as a positive sign of urban transformation, tensions lurk beneath, reflecting the social conflicts within postindustrial cities. Upscaling Downtown examines the perspectives and actions of disparate social groups who have been affected by or played a role in the nightlife of the Lower East Side, East Village, and Bowery. Using the social world of bars as windows into understanding urban development, Richard Ocejo argues that the gentrifying neighborhoods of postindustrial cities are increasingly influenced by upscale commercial projects, causing significant conflicts for the people involved. Ocejo explores what community institutions, such as neighborhood bars, gain or lose amid gentrification. He considers why residents continue unsuccessfully to protest the arrival of new bars, how new bar owners produce a nightlife culture that attracts visitors rather than locals, and how government actors, including elected officials and the police, regulate and encourage nightlife culture. By focusing on commercial newcomers and the residents who protest local changes, Ocejo illustrates the contested and dynamic process of neighborhood growth. Delving into the social ecosystem of one emblematic section of Manhattan, Upscaling Downtown sheds fresh light on the tensions and consequences of urban progress. 606 $aCentral business districts$zWashington (D.C.) 606 $aCommunity organization$zWashington (D.C.) 606 $aUrban renewal$zWashington (D.C.) 607 $aNew York, NY$2gnd 610 $aLower East Side. 610 $aManhattan. 610 $aNew York City. 610 $aNew York Police Department. 610 $aNew York State Liquor Authority. 610 $abar owners. 610 $abars. 610 $abartenders. 610 $abroken windows. 610 $acollective action. 610 $acommunity boards. 610 $acommunity ideology. 610 $acommunity life. 610 $acommunity socializing. 610 $acommunity. 610 $acrime. 610 $adowntown neighborhoods. 610 $adowntown. 610 $aeconomic development. 610 $aentrepreneurialism. 610 $agentrification. 610 $aliquor licensing. 610 $alocal government. 610 $alocal participatory democracy. 610 $aneighborhood growth. 610 $aneighborhood residents. 610 $anightlife. 610 $anostalgia narrative. 610 $aplace entrepreneurs. 610 $aplace making. 610 $apolicing. 610 $apostindustrial city. 610 $aprotests. 610 $aquality of life. 610 $aself-identity. 610 $aslums. 610 $asocial conflict. 610 $asocial ecosystem. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial life. 610 $aupscaling. 610 $aurban entrepreneurialism. 610 $aurban transformation. 615 0$aCentral business districts 615 0$aCommunity organization 615 0$aUrban renewal 676 $a307.76 700 $aOcejo$b Richard E.$0967862 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786788703321 996 $aUpscaling downtown$93840469 997 $aUNINA
