- The Downtown Eastside (DTES) is a neighbourhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. One of the city's oldest neighbourhoods, the DTES is the site of a complex set of social issues including disproportionately high levels of drug use, homelessness, poverty, crime, mental illness and sex work. It is also known for its strong community resilience, history of social activism, and artistic contributions. Around the beginning of the 20th century, the DTES was the political, cultural and retail centre of Vancouver. Over several decades, the city centre gradually shifted westwards and the DTES became a poor, although relatively stable, neighbourhood. In the 1980s, the area began a rapid decline due to several factors including an influx of hard drugs, policies that pushed sex work and drug-related activity out of nearby areas, and the cessation of federal funding for social housing. By 1997, an epidemic of HIV infection and drug overdoses in the DTES led to the declaration of a public health emergency. As of 2018, critical issues include opioid overdoses, especially those involving the drug fentanyl; decrepit and squalid housing; a shortage of low-cost rental housing; and mental illness, which often co-occurs with addiction. The population of the DTES is estimated to be around 7,000 people. Compared to the city as a whole, the DTES has a higher proportion of males and adults who live alone. It also has significantly more Indigenous Canadians, who are disproportionately affected by the neighbourhood's social problems. The neighbourhood has a history of attracting individuals with mental health and addiction issues, many of whom are drawn to its drug market and low-barrier services. Residents experience Canada's highest rate of death from encounters with police, and many vulnerable members of the community have low trust in the police. Since Vancouver's real-estate boom began in the early 21st century, the area has been increasingly experiencing gentrification. Some see gentrification as a force for revitalization, while others believe it has led to higher displacement and homelessness. Numerous efforts have been made to improve the DTES at an estimated cost of over $1.4 billion as of 2009. Services in the greater DTES area are estimated to cost $360 million per year. Commentators from across the political spectrum have said that little progress has been made in resolving the issues of the neighbourhood as a whole, although there are individual success stories. Proposals for addressing the issues of the area include increasing investment in social housing, increasing capacity for treating people with addictions and mental illness, making services more evenly distributed across the city and region instead of concentrated in the DTES, and improving co-ordination of services. However, little agreement exists between the municipal, provincial and federal governments regarding long-term plans for the area. (en)
- Downtown Eastside, également désigné par l'abréviation DTES, est l'un des plus vieux quartiers de la ville de Vancouver, dans la province canadienne de Colombie-Britannique, et l'un de ses quartiers les plus pauvres. DTES englobe les quartiers de Chinatown, Gastown, (anciennement Japantown), et , ainsi que certaines zones industrielles au nord de la ville. Son périmètre est sujet à débat, mais on peut définir d'une manière générale ses frontières par les voies Cambie Street à l'ouest, Clark Drive à l'est, les rives au nord et les voies Venables Street et Prior Avenue au sud. Le quartier de Downtown Eastside est touché par divers problèmes de pauvreté, de violence, d'usage de drogues et de prostitution. De plus, il a une histoire marquée par l'activisme communautaire. Le quartier était touché par d'importants problèmes de déclin urbain, on retrouvait alors plusieurs bâtiments du secteur en décrépitude. Plus récemment, il y a eu la construction de nouveaux bâtiments et la revitalisation de bâtiments existants. En outre, des tensions entre des promoteurs immobiliers et des citoyens ont eu lieu par rapport à des projets de gentrification dans le quartier. (fr)
- Il Downtown Eastside (abbreviato in DTES) è un quartiere di Vancouver, in Columbia Britannica (Canada). Pur essendo uno dei quartieri più antichi della città, e direttamente adiacente al centro (la vera e propria downtown), il Downtown Eastside è noto per il degrado urbano, il commercio di droga, la prostituzione, la povertà e la delinquenza e per la forte presenza di senzatetto e malati di mente. Allo stesso tempo, è anche caratterizzato da un forte senso della comunità e una importante storia di attivismo sociale. All'inizio del XX secolo, il DTES era il centro economico, culturale e politico della città. Nel corso di diversi decenni, il centro si spostò gradualmente verso ovest, e il DTES si impoverì, pur mantenendo una certa stabilità sociale. Negli anni ottanta iniziò un rapido declino, alimentato da diversi fattori: l'afflusso ingente di droghe pesanti, la deospedalizzazione dei malati mentali, l'azione repressiva della polizia contro la prostituzione e il traffico di droga nei quartieri di downtown (che spinse tali attività verso il DTES), e la cessazione dei finanziamenti governativi per l'edilizia sociale. Questo decline conobbe un apice nel 1997, quando la diffusione di HIV e morti per overdose nel DTES raggiunse livelli tali da far dichiarare lo stato di emergenza sanitaria. La popolazione del DTES è stimata fra le 6000 e le 8000 persone; rispetto ad altre zone della città, vi è una maggiore proporzione di maschi, di adulti che vivono soli, e di aborigeni canadesi. (it)
