WEEK 6 Make a Small Edit

Original Text

HOPE VI makes use of New Urbanism principles, meaning that communities must be dense, pedestrian-friendly, and transit-accessible. Housing is rarely built as apartments. Instead, private houses, duplexes and, especially for public housing projects, row houses are preferred. These buildings provide direct access and connection to the street and communities. Houses are designed to stand close to the street, with small front yards. It is common to see porches on the buildings, where residents can oversee the street, as well as small apartments for single residents built over garages or on the ground floor.

By applying defensible space, most communities are specifically designed or remodeled with private property, emphasizing security. Buildings are low-rise and often integrated directly into failing urban areas by re-establishing the street grid. This can lead to revitalization of surrounding areas. Private custodianship, with individuals taking care of their assigned part of the project, is a critical element. Likewise, providing residents with high-quality materials and houses is believed to encourage pride in the space and an interest in keeping things in good condition. This, theoretically, mitigates vandalism.

Additionally, home near to each other with small front yards, encourage community engagement. This allows for residents to become closer and rely on each other to help raise their quality of life and encourage community activism.

Overview of my changes

I added three citations that I believe are beneficial to the article and incorporate a higher level of understanding. The citations were numbers 12, 13, and 14. Additionally, I added two sentences to the end of the first paragraph that explains a bit more in depth why public housing is designed in a nearby fashion.
