Experiencing Interruptions?

Dog Parks and Coffee Shops: Diversity Seeking in Changing Neighborhoods

This film explores diversity-seeking, community, and consumption in neighborhoods undergoing urban revitalization. In a study of three in Washington, DC, neighborhoods, we find that differences in resources, cultural norms and cultural preferences lead to tensions among some residents and perceived exclusion from consumption opportunities for others.
