Description An account of the resource This collection brings together materials documenting how community groups across Austin responded to urban planning, zoning, and development in the mid- to late twentieth century. Drawing on records from the Austin History Center, the collection includes zoning and land-use maps, neighborhood association materials from the South River City Citizens (SRCC), publications produced by East Town Lake Citizens, and materials related to environmental advocacy efforts associated with figures such as Wayne Gronquist and Betty Brown. These sources show how planning decisions shaped neighborhoods through zoning classifications, redevelopment efforts, and environmental concerns, while also capturing how residents and advocacy groups interpreted and responded to those changes. Materials in this collection document community concerns over development, displacement, and environmental preservation, and show how residents organized through meetings, mapping, public outreach, and coalition-building to influence city planning processes. Together, these items illustrate how communities were not only defined by planning policies but were actively constructed and negotiated through collective action across different groups.

Title A name given to the resource SRCC Design Edition Newsletter and Area Plan Map, June 1976 Subject The topic of the resource Urban planning—Texas—Austin; Zoning—Texas—Austin; Transportation planning—Texas—Austin; Neighborhood associations—Texas—Austin; Community development—Texas—Austin; South River City Citizens (Austin, Tex.) Description An account of the resource Two-page Design Edition newsletter from South River City Citizens (SRCC), dated June 1976, combining an “SRCC Area Plan” map with a written discussion of neighborhood planning concerns. The first page focuses on transportation, zoning, pedestrian travel, and public transportation. It argues that heavy traffic on neighborhood streets such as Manlove, Woodland, Riverside, and Live Oak has altered residential areas and proposes redirecting traffic, reducing incompatible zoning, improving pedestrian routes, and linking neighborhood destinations via minibus service. The second page explains SRCC’s block organization system and describes how block captains, area coordinators, and newsletters were used to keep residents informed and involved. It also lists ongoing concerns, including zoning cases, bus routes, school overcrowding, noise pollution, and neighborhood improvements. Together, these pages show how SRCC connected mapping, transportation planning, zoning advocacy, and resident organization as part of its effort to shape neighborhood development in South Austin.

The selection also includes annotated neighborhood maps produced and used by the South River City Citizens (SRCC), including a map labeled “Area 5” with a corresponding legend identifying land uses such as transportation, utilities, and multi-family housing, as well as a parcel-level map labeled “Area 6” and “Area 7.” These materials document how official zoning and land-use frameworks structured the neighborhood, while also showing how SRCC created its own internal geographic divisions for coordination and advocacy, reflecting a localized interpretation of space in Austin.

Title A name given to the resource “What Are You Going to Do When They Run You Out? / ¿Qué Va Ud. a Hacer Cuando Lo Corran?” East Town Lake Citizens bilingual comic on urban renewal, 1979 Subject The topic of the resource Urban renewal, Community activism, Mexican American communities Displacement, Neighborhood organizing Description An account of the resource Bilingual (English and Spanish) illustrated pamphlet produced by East Town Lake Citizens that critiques urban renewal and redevelopment in East Austin. The comic-style format walks through how city planning decisions impact residents, beginning with questions about rising rents, property taxes, and whether redevelopment reflects community needs. Later panels outline the processes behind these changes, including private development, federal funding, and the use of eminent domain. The pamphlet depicts the demolition of homes, the displacement of low-income residents, and the replacement of existing neighborhoods with commercial and high-income development, particularly in the Rainey Street area. Spanish-language sections mirror the English content, reinforcing accessibility and direct outreach to Spanish-speaking residents. In its concluding pages, the pamphlet turns toward collective action, urging residents to participate in meetings, sign petitions, and mobilize for community-driven change. More than a source of information, it serves as a rallying cry for resistance, capturing the ways East Austin residents asserted their agency and challenged the injustices of urban renewal.

Title A name given to the resource Redefining Community: Neighborhood Advocacy and Urban Development in Austin, Texas Subject The topic of the resource Urban planning—Texas—Austin; Zoning—Texas—Austin; Neighborhood associations—Texas—Austin; Community development—Texas—Austin; Displacement—Texas—Austin; Environmentalism—Texas—Austin; Urbanization—Texas—Austin; East Austin (Tex.); South Austin (Tex.) Description An account of the resource This collection brings together materials documenting how community groups across Austin responded to urban planning, zoning, and development in the mid- to late twentieth century. Drawing on records from the Austin History Center, the collection includes zoning and land-use maps, neighborhood association materials from the South River City Citizens (SRCC), publications produced by East Town Lake Citizens, and materials related to environmental advocacy efforts associated with figures such as Wayne Gronquist and Betty Brown. These sources show how planning decisions shaped neighborhoods through zoning classifications, redevelopment efforts, and environmental concerns, while also capturing how residents and advocacy groups interpreted and responded to those changes. Materials in this collection document community concerns over development, displacement, and environmental preservation, and show how residents organized through meetings, mapping, public outreach, and coalition-building to influence city planning processes. Together, these items illustrate how communities were not only defined by planning policies but were actively constructed and negotiated through collective action across different groups.

Title A name given to the resource Austin’s Neighborhood Design Manual and Neighborhood Planning Materials, November 2, 1981 Subject The topic of the resource Urban planning—Texas—Austin; Neighborhood planning—Texas—Austin; Community development—Texas—Austin; Citizen participation—Texas—Austin; Neighborhood associations—Texas—Austin; South River City Citizens (Austin, Tex.) Description An account of the resource Pages from Austin’s Neighborhood Design Manual, dated November 2, 1981, preserved within the South River City Citizens Records. The opening section critiques rapid urban growth in Austin, arguing that development driven by outside investment places pressure on city services and reduces neighborhood-level quality of life. Subsequent pages present neighborhood planning as a response, including a diagram outlining steps for community action such as identifying issues, building consensus, and creating local resources. Additional pages emphasize sustaining participation through cooperation and shared responsibility, while visual materials depict alternative housing layouts and neighborhood designs that prioritize density, shared space, and local control. The newsletter frames neighborhood planning as a resident-driven process, showing how communities in Austin developed their own strategies for organizing, decision-making, and responding to city-led development.
