Lessons from Housing Development in Hawai芒鈧渋--A Talk by Jennifer Darrah-Okike
March 6, 2:30pm - 4:00pmMānoa Campus, Saunders 624
How do land developers, builders or 芒鈧損lace entrep reneurs芒鈧 shape (or attempt to shape) land-use in the presence of significant political and cultural opposition or intensive regulation? In order to answer this question, I present findings from original qualitative research on four controversial high-end luxury housing development projects in Hawai芒鈧渋. I describe specific political processes through which developers of the projects studied attempted to neutralize political opposition and navigate amidst the authority of local and state agencies; I also describe how developers responded in complex ways to the voices and interests of diverse Native Hawaiian communities and local residents. Overall, I argue for greater analytical attention by scholars to the symbolic politics of development (and their unintended consequences for local residents and diverse Native Hawaiian communities) and the protracted and episodic quality of development under intensive regulation.
