Can someone help me with a sentence...??

0I'm writing a paper and trying to decide if which sentence is correct.02br
02br
00Despite containing an important historical background, economic advancement and housing decisions has been underway, forcing a new era in conflict with the old. 00 02br
02br
00or02br
02br
02br
00Despite containing an important historical background, economic advancement and housing decisions has been underway forcing a new era in conflict with the old. 00 02br
02br
00Note: second sentence is missing comma after underway.02br
02br
00I have trouble with placing commas02br
02br
02br
02br
00This is the 2nd sentence... Reading the sentence it seems like there needs to be a pause in between community and hindering but I don't think a comma wil fit neatly in this sentence.02br
02br
00Ideally, gentrification would create a fresh community hindering slum production, building economy, and providing better living conditions overall.00 02br
