Synopsis:
What are the challenges of crafting a vibrant urban village from an ethnically, culturally, and economically diverse population? 'The Price of Renewal' examines issues of community development, philanthropy and civic engagement by chronicling the long-term redevelopment of the once-deteriorating neighborhood of City Heights, often referred to as the Ellis Island of San Diego. Here we find patterns of immigration, migration, and gentrification present in many American cities. Using character-based stories, the film explores the extraordinary efforts of many individuals and organizations struggling to revitalize an inner city neighborhood through a partnership between public and private entities.
