America's Hidden Gem: Northwest Aurora

This is a story of a community making good on the promise of the American dream. Aurora’s diversity puts it in the top 10 among US cities, and NW Aurora or “Original Aurora” is its heart. Once affordable, urban development now threatens to dismantle its unique cultural fabric. Efforts to keep it intact through conscious revitalization could be a model for cities facing gentrification.
