This study contributes to the communicative planning paradigm by examining how government representatives, responsible for sponsoring, designing and building affordable housing, interact with community members who reflect contrasting belief and value systems. The objective of this study is to understand the causal factors, characterized by histories of conflicted government intervention and community resistance, which culminate in a 42-unit infill housing development within an Afro-Puerto Rican ethnic enclave. I examine how both collectives, each characterized by their own forms of internal diversity and power relations, define and to some extent reconcile conflicting ideologies about the use of indoor and outdoor space. Actors include agents representing the Autonomous Municipality of Ponce and residents from the neighborhood known as "el barrio San Anton."

520 $a This study contributes to the communicative planning paradigm by examining how government representatives, responsible for sponsoring, designing and building affordable housing, interact with community members who reflect contrasting belief and value systems. The objective of this study is to understand the causal factors, characterized by histories of conflicted government intervention and community resistance, which culminate in a 42-unit infill housing development within an Afro-Puerto Rican ethnic enclave.

520 $a This doctoral dissertation integrates interpretive and historical methods with the analysis of complex everyday life conditions in urban planning practice. The study is interdisciplinary in nature. The bricolage technique of analysis is used to integrate and interpret the urban planning, historical, ethnographic and literary narratives that appear in this study. San Anton's spatial production is divided into three analytical components---the political-economic, the ethnographic, and the symbolic interactionist. The research problem responds to the following normative concerns and practical implications: (1) How can the urban planner advance development practices that are sensitive to diverse ways of knowing and living? (2) How can the urban planner mediate urban conflicts characterized by multiple and competing histories and memories? (3) How can the urban planner encourage collective and personal empowerment among disenfranchised and culturally diverse populations? Ultimately, this research project aims to reduce the level of project failure and conflict due to inappropriate assumptions about community lifestyles, value systems, needs and transformations.
520 $a Borderland communities, such as San Anton, also speak to the ambiguous positioning of identity and place in the Caribbean context, and during the urban intervention process. Unanticipated conflicts emerge from an under-considered sector of the community namely, the younger disenfranchised population. This community's stories of historic alienation, agency, and change reveal possible interpretive and methodological implications for other locales.
