The gentrification that is going on in Harlem does not affect that much the poor housing projects that still breed crime and poverty. The income levels among residents of many of those housing projects is way below the poverty live and new developments often means that prices go up in the neighborhood stores and the cost of life goes up. That's a problem that can only be solved by better education and changes in the way we view the subsidized housing, I believe.
The city should destroy those ugly and segragated housing projects and built some that have more interaction to the neighborhoods they are in. Maybe the people then will feel that they will be part of the community, not part of an underclass. An example might be what they are doing in Chicago... just check the video on this website.
