Planning, Zoning and other Land Use Policy Best Practices to Erase Errors of the Past that Perpetuated Bias and Deepened Inequality
The key question is: do people feel like their experience and history is represented in the space?
In many planning activities in hot real estate markets, there is a growing concern around gentrification and displacement.
One of the ways to mitigate these concerns about cultural erasure is representational justice.
Make sure people’s history is represented in the new space, through development or redevelopment.
Many public spaces have monuments and plaques detailing the achievements of white people.
We need to have more inclusive plaques and markers that talk about the history
of the place made by all people.
