Highways To Displacement: The Hidden History Of Urban Renewal
from Viewpoints Radio · host Marty Peterson, Evan Rook, Ebony McMorris | AURN, Gary Price
It looked like progress—new highways, modern bridges—but in cities across America, those blueprints masked something else entirely. In Detroit and beyond, entire Black neighborhoods were destroyed, and communities were split by concrete. We uncover the deeper implications of transportation policy in the mid 1900’s and how cities today are trying to get back to these once-connected and diverse communities.
