Compton has a rich heritage, amplified by the fact that changing demographics gives different areas of importance multiple histories. The city is home to the Compton/Woodley Airport, the impressive architecture of a Modernist City Hall, and an agricultural area that is still functioning today. It is important to identify, celebrate, and protect these places, as well as identify places that may be eligible in the future for protection. Doing so will not only imbue a sense of pride in Compton's residents, but enhance any future planning by the city government. With the election of Mayor Aja Brown, the city of Compton, CA has begun to see successful attempts at revitalization. New apartments and condos have begun to spring up near the Metro Line, old industrial buildings are being renovated and reused, box retailers are moving in, streets are being improved, and real estate prices are going up. This all spells good things for Compton, a city that has been ravaged by low tax revenue since the Watts Riots. Compton is on the road back to middle-class stability. Sometimes newness brings with it a sense of disregard for places that made a place special in the first place. Compton in particular is in danger of this thanks to the reputation it gained in the 1970s-'80s as a dangerous and poverty-stricken city. Now that Compton is moving into a new era of stability, it is vital now more than ever to pay homage to all the layers of history in Compton, and analyze how areas of importance can be further protected and enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. This study will examine Compton's development, identify areas of importance, and look at the challenges and benefits of conservation in Compton.Subjects--Topical Terms:
