DESCRIPTION:

Racist Land Use Policies:  Systemic gentrification in the form of zoning and planning have been described by many scholars, not only as one of the root causes enabling disproportionate burdens of economic, cultural and environmental injustice upon people of color, but also the fundamental and potentially most powerful of the legal weapons deployed in the cause of systemic and institutional racism.

"It seems every surface of public space is getting auctioned off to those who want to monetize our attention. We need a political economy of attention that would treat it as a scarce resource, and allow us to make a claim for our attention on our own behalf. The condition of not being addressed is what makes it possible to think."  -Matthew Crawford
