Outline of Proposed Edits[edit]

I am considering adding to this page for a Wiki Education project.

I see two sections that could be expanded significantly: gentrification and consequences. Both of these sections currently offer only surface level descriptions. There is a large body of literature on gentrification and its numerous impacts, and as gentrification has accelerated as a mechanism of residential segregation, I plan to add more information on this topic.

I plan to divide the consequences section into three subsections: economic, health, and education. There is a large body of literature on the health and education impacts of residential segregation to draw from, and I think this will provide a better picture of the consequences of residential segregation. The economic consequences subsection would draw on the research of Raj Chetty, among others, who have studied the impact of residential segregation on employment outcomes.

Lastly, the case study of Atlanta at the end of the article seems out of place. I think that the effects explained in this case study could be abstracted in the consequences section and the case study deleted. Jkolli (talk) 03:22, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed edits as project for class[edit]

I am planning to edit this page as a project for my course at Rice University. I have outlined some of my potential edits, additions, and sources on my user page sandbox. I plan to expand the history section with more details; expand the Influences on Segregation section to include discrimination in housing appraisals, neighborhood disinvestment, and more details about gentrification; and expand the Consequences section to include subsections on education, healthcare, food deserts, urban heat islands, and employment. I also plan to add information about residential segregation in Detroit and Chicago in the final section. --EJPit (talk) 14:39, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is extremely well written and flows very logically. You a great job of including various racial groups, which seems to have been previously lacking. The article could use more specific research— rather than citing broader claims, it could benefit from direct use of information such as quotes, images, and statistics. Really great job all around!

Peer Review[edit]

You have made great contributions to improve this article’s status by a large measure. Specifically, your rewriting of the History section introduced the article very well. The changes made to the titles of headings and subheadings provide more detail regarding the topics of said sections. I think an illustration of a statistical graph to show trends would be very beneficial because it would make the information more visible and tangible to the reader and visualize the importance of why residential segregation trends are changing. The most important improvements you could make with more time would be furthering the development of the sections you created. Tamaz.young (talk) 12:33, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
