One of the things we plan to look at in The Baldwin Park Story is the similarities and/or differences between a planned community built in an urban environment and a traditional city neighborhood. In many cities people are moving back to the neighborhoods their families reluctantly left years ago. Most neighborhoods were comfortable places to live for any number of reasons. Planned Communities offer many of the same amenities as neighborhoods did, like being able to walk to stores, and children walking to school. Do people get to know their neighbors in a community like Baldwin Park in the same way they would in a traditional neighborhood? Many urban neighborhoods were dominated by one or two ethnicities. What role does ethnicity play in a Planned Community and the New Neighborhoods?
