Abstract
As a result of various economic and demographic factors, Washington, D.C. is leading a national trend toward the private revitalization of inner city areas. It is not yet clear whether this trend represents a back-to-the-city movement or merely the shifting of population from one section of the city to another. Research to date is inconclusive both as to the extent of displacement and to the deposition of the displaced households. The local government had adopted, but not seriously enforced, several measures that would limit real estate speculation and protect the rights of the typically poor inhabitants.
