Beneath the Pavement: Uncovering the Hidden Histories of Urban Redevelopment

from Breaking Asphalt Exploring the Underbelly of the City · host Neon Nights Studio

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked histories of urban redevelopment projects and the ways in which they have been used to displace marginalized communities and consolidate power. We'll delve into case studies of neighborhoods that have been transformed through gentrification, eminent domain, and other forms of urban renewal, and examine the social, economic, and cultural consequences of these processes. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between urban planning, politics, and the lived experiences of those affected by these transformations.
