1971 Neighborhood Analysis Greenville, South Carolina

Area Study

The 1971 "Neighborhood Analysis" of Greenville, South Carolina, prepared by LBC&W Associates, evaluates urban blight across eight study areas, identifying 30 neighborhoods based on structural, environmental, and social factors. Using data from windshield surveys, census tracts, and transportation zones, the report classifies buildings as sound, deteriorating, or dilapidated. It identifies factors contributing to blight, including economic conditions, structural obsolescence, and insufficient utilities, and emphasizes the importance of neighborhood cohesion for successful remedial programs. The report recommends tailored interventions, such as zoning enforcement, urban renewal projects, and strict building codes, to control or eliminate blight and support sustainable development. Detailed maps illustrate structural conditions, traffic flow, and renewal areas, serving as tools for city council planning and zoning decisions.
