Just meant for discussion, but how would you "fix" Winnipeg's North End.
Every city in the world has
that neighborhood which tends to have a negative reputation, but these neighborhoods also tend to be the most tightly knit and have the most character, perhaps a symptom of alienation.
The North End of Winnipeg faces its challenges, and (not trying to paint a gloomy picture here), unless there is a change within the area and the city itself, I don't foresee the North End improving in comparison to the rest of the city. Small improvements in the neighborhood shouldn't be overlooked, but to the average Winnipegger, it is still perceived as being the most dangerous and unwelcoming in the city, and perception can make or break a community's success.
As the neighborhood continues to grow due to its affordable housing, the Aboriginal and immigrant population in this area will continue to grow. And as much as this is a blessing, the area will continue to develop distinctly from the rest of the city, and these often unfairly marginalized groups will continue to be alienated.
As much as the future seems brighter for Winnipeg, I worry about some of these inner city neighborhoods. Could we bring new meaning to the "donut effect", an attractive downtown and attractive suburbs, but the in-between neighborhoods forgotten?
