Still, the city's postindustrial legacy <br />tends to high generational poverty rates, high vacancy and blight rates, and immense racial and <br />environmental justice disparities. The city`s westside neighborhoods are historically African <br />American and immigrant communities that continue to be economically disenfranchised. <br />The City of South Bend values diversity and inclusion and looks to become a city in which all <br />boats rise with the tide and no neighborhood or demographic is left behind. The 2018 NospeTity <br />Nov report, and the subsequent Westside Qualitative Study further inform the need for more <br />inclusive and place -based interventions that honor and recognize legacy residents voice, vision, <br />and personal agency. In fact, residents can benefit from a collaborative leadership process that <br />define a vision and plan for inclusive revitalization efforts on the ►vestside that encourages social <br />enterprise through incremental development strategies. <br />
