This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like some general advice on how it can be improved from its current state. I created/expanded it from the ground up and would like to see it become a featured article sometime in the near future. Thank you for you time.

- "The evictions were first ordered by the city's municipal government as part of a massive reconstruction effort aimed at increasing the appeal of the downtown metropolis.[1] Since then, the number of housing complexes being forcibly vacated has increased substantially.[2]" The "since then" feels a bit off because it's not clear when that is (since 2008, since they first started the construction effort?) Better to give actual numbers on evictions if possible.
- As of my review there's a mangled ref leading the "demolitions" section.
- The issue I see with this article is it's really short, and I don't think it adequately covers all aspects of the topic--or, if it does, then it might be worth thinking about whether the topic is better covered merged in with a parent topic. Among the elements that are currently missing:
- What is the runup to the government's action? Was it discussed publicly? Was there any protests before the actions actually occurred? The article skips from background to the demolitions. Part of the issue might be recentism and a lack of more specific context in the article--you haven't quite made me understand why this is important yet.
- The "see also" lists a "Human Rights in…" article. Perhaps that's the best place to mention this?
