* Viewing the Formation of the Slum Area in Harlem, New York City from the perspective of its Population Changes, Journal of East China Normal University (Philosophy and Social Sciences), 1997,Vol.134, No.6,pg.59-66.(Shanghai, China).
In the 1920`s, Harlem of New York City became a notorious slum. How did what was once a prosperous community change into a terrible slum? This paper studies the changes of Harlem,from the perspective of its population changes, and concludes: the inflow of a large number of unskilled labor force produced many difficulties for employment; while the outflow of the white people caused severe business depression , taxation and financial crisis; Rapidly increased population caused a lot of housing problems and gave much pressure on public facilities; the deterioration of population qualities , culture and health had done much harm to community construction; the raising number of poor people had also triggered a series of social moral problems. All of these factors had lead Harlem from prosperity to the decline.
