Neighborhood associations and urban decision making in Albuquerque
Abstract
Neighborhood associations have the potential to be important players
in the urban decision-making process. There are numerous examples of
situations in which they have exercised their unique capabilities to
influence decisions that have a direct impact on their members. But
their role in the larger arena of the city they inhabit is less clear.
This study explores the degree to which neighborhood associations,
through their newsletters, acknowledge and support citywide goals. A
content analysis of 173 newsletters from forty-four neighborhood
associations in Albuquerque, New Mexico, revealed that they do provide
some support for several citywide goals but not for the majority of
them.
