Ryerson Population Analysis

I live at 383 East, 143rd street and my zip code is 10454. It is an area in which Latinos are the main population. This area is called Mott Haven in which there are many public housing projects. I live in one of the housing project in which my neighbors I can see they are mainly Hispanics and Blacks. Around my specific zip code area, there are different neighborhoods. In addition, even though these neighbourhood are very close to each other, there are still a lot of differences between them. I will focus on the varieties of people’s races that inhabit certain areas of the zip code 10454 and how certain areas have more schools while other areas have more businesses.

When a neighborhood is gentrified it will not only change the image of it, but also the services available there (Al-Kodmany 2011, 62-63). In other words, gentrification does not only have an impact on the physical aspect of the land, but also the resources that lie there. During the 90s, the Near West Side neighborhood located near Loop, an up-scale neighborhood, sought drastic changes within the area. The changes in racial demographics in the Near West Side indicated that the health risks that affected minorities dropped in the past decade (1992-2002) (Al-Kodmany 2011,

Ultimately, the impact of gentrification on the Downtown Eastside will be most felt by its current low-income residents. It is understood that the complexity of the issues found in the Downtown Eastside does not allow for an easy fix. The extent to which gentrification’s impacts have been and will be felt by those living in the area are and will be great, respectively. While gentrification may bring diversity to Vancouver, it is at the expense of the many disadvantaged residents of the Downtown Eastside who will be

Within the City of Toronto, there is a heavy concentration of social housing, in the form of both houses and buildings, in the space South of St. Clair Avenue, bordered by Jane St. to the West and Woodbine Avenue to the East. Within this space however, rather than being evenly spaced out, social housing developments are clustered within certain neighbourhoods, such as in and around Parkdale and between the neighbourhoods of Moss Park, Regent Park, and the Garden district. Outside of this space, generally speaking, social housing is placed further apart with some exceptional clusters, such as the 18th and (portions of) the 4th community housing units, as well as the Yonge-Eglinton area. In the peripheries of the city, social housing developments are mostly located along major arteries, and there are very few houses, as opposed to buildings.

The gentrification process can be seen through the demographic and physical changes of the South Parkdale neighborhood. Gentrification is “the invasion of working-class areas by the upper- and middle-classes, who upgrade shabby, modest housing into elegant residences, resulting in the displacement of all, or most of the original working-class occupiers”. (Lyons, 1996) South Parkdale is a neighborhood in downtown Toronto that faces problems of gentrification. This problem has been ongoing since the nineteen fifty’s’.

The government needs to provide more support and police hours to these types of neighbour hoods. The only reason the crime rates are up is due to the lack of cops in that area. Furthermore, the prices of houses have been increasing in Canada rapidly. To find a suitable place to live which is affordable is becoming really rare due to the increase in real estate. As the prices rise, the people who are not as fortunate as the rest of us are forced to live in deprived areas. This will cause the upbringing of children to be difficult which might ultimately lead to poverty. Thus, through providing funding for affordable and appropriate housing, Canada can start to diminish the homeless population.

For instance, the city Detroit has had a recent reduction in population percentages. As a result of the decrease in population growth, the Brightmoor neighborhood in Detroit area is being gentrified as of a similar situation resorting to the decline of population along the rest of the city. To handle the situation, the neighborhood has been renovated with an astounding outcome been increasing in population due to city helping college students get their bachelor’s degrees raising the population to 48 percent. This is great for Detroit because now that

Toronto holds onto it 's shameful title: Child poverty capital of Canada, article written by Laurie Monsebraanten, social justice reporter was published on October 13th,2015.

She seeks more training for the youth to get jobs but it 's also challenging because their online access is limited or not assessable at all.

This investigation explores gentrification within the Trinity-Spadina Ward of Toronto. The research question of ‘To what extent is gentrification present in the Liberty Village neighborhood of Toronto?’ largely focuses on redevelopment, land use and population demographics. Based on the comparison of four indicators between Ward 20 and the City of Toronto, it was hypothesised that gentrification is a prominent agent of change in the Liberty Village neighborhood.

A quarter mile from my house there was an entire plaza of Southeast Asian stores and restaurants and a half mile away was another, larger plaza with mostly Mexican and other Central American businesses and spaces. In spite of this economic activity, the predominance of apartments, with 66.7% of occupied housing units being renter occupied and nearly 80% of the total population living in these units, in addition to 82.1% of the Spanish speaking population over the age of 25 having earned less than a highschool diploma are emblematic of the relationship between being a person of color in this country and the barriers to accumulating wealth. This is supported as well by the fact that 11.4% of those who speak only English at home are below the poverty level whereas this number is 32.8% for those who speak Spanish or Spanish Creole.

The study examined data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN). They created 847 census tracts to create 343 neighborhood clusters. The

Over the last 5 years, Northern Ontario has continued to lose population under the Wynne’s government. The latest census data have shown that Northern Ontario has lost over 2600 of its residents in the last 5 years. Kirkland Lake has suffered the greatest loss with a decline of approximately 6 % of its population, followed closely by Elliot Lake with 5.3 % of its population leaving.

Toronto’s population increased by 4.5 percent and the fastest growth has been seen in the GTA’s commuter cities of Shelburne, Milton and Bradford. Where they saw their population increase by over 25%. Why is Northern Ontario’s population shrinking when the population

In recent years, Many immigrants come from asian nations, have tried to regenerate downtown areas such as Los angeles, San francisco and New York. An example is that the Koreans, Chineses and Japaneses have opened shops in the Korea Town, China Town and Japan Town . These Asians also do well in the sunrise industries such as computer design, software industries. Asians have higher median income than whites.

Finally, the investment of this project will have great social impacts on students in Ryerson. The Architecture building typically closes at 7:30 PM. To save electricity, Ryerson turns off the lights. This stages as a problem for commuter students who stay at school in the night to take advantage of its facilities. By introducing free and renewable solar energy to the ARC, students will have more time to study at school. As result, their academic performance will improve. Also, the money saved yearly from solar panels can be put towards increasing Ryerson’s facilities. For example, the lighting around Quad at night, and the number of vending machines in Kerr Hall can be improved. About 130 students make Kerr Hall their home during exams. There

Before it used to be from suburb into the town center, but nowadays the movement between border or continents overtook that. Unfortunately, most of the time the urban policy maker seems to overlook that fact and never include immigrant population into their consideration when they are proposing a plan. We found that migration could create massive impact on the development of local neighborhood, the impact of low-skilled immigrant, the relation of highly skilled immigrant and the stimulation of creativity and entrepreneurship of the city. Not to mention the pressure on housing market, transportation network, the access to public services, socio-cultural environment. Wherewith, a lot of academic researchers believe that the diversity promotion in local community could decide the outcome of immigrant integration
