Interestingly you point out the linear (seeing from the State) vs nonlinear (seeing from the community) dimension. Comparing to Singapore, where government has more authority and coherent plan on urban planning, the Naluwan's experience seems to suggest a different form of governance between the government and the local society. In your prompts, you mentioned Singaporean government's urban planning to create fair housing, greeneries, as well as ethnic policies on promoting integration. I am curious about how you would describe "the sense of community and place" constructed by the top-down authority, comparing to the disordered, spontanious, bottom-up self-assembly mode we saw in Naluwan

Code enforcement doesn't do anything when residents call them, does not have a timeline for re-inspection after a property fails initial inspections

Owners retaliate against renters by raising rent, evicting them, etc. for complaining

Residents must fix things on their own, don't report concerns because of fears of retaliation

Parents risk having their children removed by CPS if conditions (like presence of black mold) don't improve

Safety concerns in neighborhoods about gun violence

Nearby homeless encampments cause mice infestations

Mold, plumbing issues, rodent and cockroach infestations, leaking roofs, broken windows and doors, broken heaters, missing smoke or carbon dioxide detectors, damaged carpets, no hot water

The object of this study is to demonstrate with objective data that pollution in Newark is causing real damage. Especially for children, because they suffer from respiratory diseases such as asthma; which is more harmful to a developing organism like a child. It is important that we become aware that pollution damage is real, and that a part of the population that is really affected is the youngest.
