In chapter 15 Jacobs discusses what she refers to as the vicious cycle of slums. This cycle is created by urban renewal projects. They try to replace the slums with other projects but the slums just move on to another place. In order to truly help the slums and the people there we need develop the area. She says that the problem with slums is that people move in and out to quickly. It is like there is a revolving door that never stops. If the area was developed better then people would stay and could form a community. With a constant population more businesses and diversity would move into the area. It would take time but this is how a slum could fix itself.
