What is the jack-o-llantern effect?

Shortly after Hurricane Katrina destroyed parts of Mississippi and Louisiana, including the port city of New Orleans, many refugees were either sent to other cities such as Houston, Texas, or provided vouchers for temporary relocation. We hope that the federal, state and local government agencies would rebuild and restore many neighborhoods to their status in front of Katrina. In fact, a selective reconstruction program helped create what many critics call jack-o-llant effect .

Regarding the efforts to restore cities after a stigry or disaster, the Jack-O-Llantern effect can be described as a patchwork of renewed or new properties surrounded on all sides by mold and devastation areas. When one particular area has renewed its tools for the exclusion of surrounding areas, the effect of a similar effect is the only Halloween Jack-O-Llanttern, which illuminates the otherwise darkened neighborhood.

when the resident of Orleans's mostly black 9. The department could return to the area, many of itCH was amazed to find out what little progress was made for repair and reconstruction. Instead, government and private agencies offered to buy individual land from owners who no longer wanted to live in New Orleans. These offers were often rejected for being significantly less than the property.

about the 9th department of political leaders and advocates believed that the government wanted to acquire property so that it could build more expensive housing units for returning the white residents of New Orleans. Only then would the fees be repaired to meet their original standards.

However, the Jack-O-Llant effect effect did not start a catastrophic consequence of a hurricane of Katrina. The idea of ​​renovation of selected areas of braked or destroyed city has been used for centuries. When the golden age of Railroads ended, for example, city planners often created an effect of jack-o-llantern by renovating commercial or higher incomes first and seemingly ignoredneighborhood with lower incomes. It is not unusual to see smaller cities and cities with small pockets of active trade or housing surrounded by areas of mold or disintegration.

The Jack-O-Llantern effect has often been applied to city renewal projects that seem to prefer one demographic group over another. In New Orleans, many black people felt betrayed by their political leaders that they allowed mostly white quarters to restore mostly black quarters. Creating the Jack-O-Llantern effect by selective rebuilding can be used to strengthen these beliefs and concerns, so that city planners and other government agencies must be aware of the effects that HodgePodge can access the reconstruction to the inhabitants and business owners.
