The area known as University Park historically has been closely connected with St. Mary's University. The growth of the university has greatly influenced the need for commercial development and housing in the area for students and employees of the university as well. There also is a high concentration of long-time property owners and residents, not necessarily connected directly with the university that continue to reside in the neighborhood. St. Mary's University has experienced significant growth in the last 10 to 15 years and undertaken an increasingly active role in the neighborhood. Some of the results of this partnership are the continued success of Oyster Bake during Fiesta, the creation of a strong and active neighborhood association, a university gateway project that will enhance the visual appeal of the neighborhood areas on the perimeter of the university and the production of the University Park Goals and Strategies Report.

"This book explores the promise and limits of bottom-up, grass-roots strategies of community organizing, development, and planning as blueprints for successful revitalization and maintenance of urban neighborhoods. Peterman proposes conditions that need to be met for bottom-up strategies to succeed. Successful neighborhood development depends not only on local actions, but also on the ability of local groups to marshal resources and political will at levels above that of the neighborhood itself. While he supports community-based initiatives, he argues that there are limits to what can be accomplished exclusively at the grassroots level, where most efforts fail"--Back cover.
