the Black Planning project

[Adam Vaughan @TOAdamVaughan]

Today we announced a historic $1.3 billion to repair Toronto's community housing units. We are stepping up and working with the city of Toronto to make sure everyone has a safe, repaired and maintained place to call home. #NationalHousingStrategy

Urban planning is bound up in white supremecist logics that sediment, valorize & leave unexamined the valuation of white geographies, while simultaneously devaluing black geographies & claims to space.

Paraphrasing @annaliviabrand at #AAG2019 on the racialized recovery of NOLA.

In 1910, African Americans owned 16 million acres, today it is closer to 3 million. During same period, whites lost roughly 65% of land claims, while African Americans lost 98% of theirs.
