From San Francisco in the west and New York City in the east, Chinatowns across the United States have fostered community for the East Asian diaspora for over 200 years. But in equal parts, they have become targets for developers, leading to the gentrification of these storied neighborhoods and the erasure of community ties. Today, locals in Philadelphia’s historic Chinatown are waging a fight against the construction of 76 Place – an arena developers are planning to build for Philly’s NBA franchise, the 76ers, in the heart of Chinatown. Some residents, business owners, and advocates of Philadelphia's Chinatown see the arena as a threat the future livelihood of the community. “For them, Chinatown is their only space that honors East Asian culture, providing a sense of safety and belonging. They worry that six years of road closures, construction dust, and noise pollution will decimate small businesses, many which have been struggling to rebuild since the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread attacks on Asian Americans,” writes journalist Allison Lau for Frame. In our latest story, Lau sends a dispatch from Philadelphia, taking us into the David-versus-Goliath-esque fight between Chinatown residents and the developer trying to build a new NBA arena in their backyard. Philly’s fight to save its Chinatown mirrors efforts in cities across the U.S. — and could serve as a blueprint for future fights to come. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/e4vUVhxJ
