No Easy Fix for Wicked Problems
As I move forward in my career, the main thing that I would like to carry forward is that wicked problems can be unfixable. For my project, I originally wanted to tackle gentrification but that was too broad of a subject so I had to find a way to focus in on one part of the issue. Gentrification is definitely a wicked problem, and it is too big for just me to fix, but I can work on fixing one part of the problem. For my final project, I chose to tackle enhancing communication in DC’s gentrified communities. I chose this subject because one thing that I’ve noticed from living in DC is that residents are blaming each other for gentrification and displacement, when really it is so much bigger than residents but it is lawmakers and large corporations that are contributing to this issue.
