I just finished reading the City of Charlotte?2040 Comprehensive policy plan and I must say it is a pretty good and well informed city development framework. I am curious to see how well it will or is being executed and how true it remains to its core values and principle. https://lnkd.in/etsSgAC4

Love this profile! And while I know so much about their work, it never fails to expand my grasp of the ways communities are, and should be more supported, as authorities of the conditions in which they live: “For University Park Slow Jams with USC, we made giant band-aids for community members to place on broken sidewalk “ouchies.”” Who gets to define when infrastructure is working or not working? How do formal, technical definitions fail in the face of lived experiences as they so often do? This example makes me wonder why communities don’t get to issue “traffic tickets” to public agencies who fail to maintain equitable access to services and safe outcomes. There’s actually a legal pathway for this. Getting hip to Public Matters approach to #conspiratorialjoy should be pre-work for anyone involved in U.S. Department of Transportation #reconnectingcommunities program!

Turning dreams into action means developing solutions for affordability in our city – especially related to housing attainability. Specifically, Nashville’s Black and African-American neighbors told us that, to feel at home in this city, they want to see low-cost housing options equally available to people of all walks of life and incentives to build a variety of housing options in all neighborhoods.

Visited this traveling exhibit today at the DC Public Library to better understand how redlining, the practice of keeping people of color from buying homes or obtaining loans in areas of more than 200 cities, became structured racism. Structural issues impact the ability to gain wealth, obtain education, and experience good health. Solutions include re-framing how we think and talk about these issues, and re-designing new ways to generate and share value. Specific solutions include building connections and sharing value. https://lnkd.in/enPyp4mS

This is a powerful conversation.

I could not let Black History Month pass without sharing a pressing public health issue I recently learned about: green gentrification, which disproportionately affects people of color and historically marginalized communities. On one hand, green initiatives like creating greenways, planting trees, and building parks promote physical activity, access to healthy food, and a sense of community, all linked to better human health and well-being. On the flip side, these initiatives can also drive up housing prices, attract wealthier residents, and displace low-income residents, particularly renters, who can no longer afford to live in these neighborhoods. This exclusion and displacement due to greening efforts is called green gentrification. Even residents who have not been displaced yet may feel a lower sense of community in green spaces and may use them less often than newcomers, ironically undermining the very purpose of these amenities. These circumstances exacerbate health, environmental, and socio-economic disparities, impacting the very residents these greening projects were intended to benefit. Gentrification is a symptom of decades of systemic biases and racism that have disadvantaged certain communities. As cities undertake green projects to address the need for more trees, parks, and clean transportation options, these projects must be paired with policies that prioritize equity such as providing affordable housing. Some US cities are already implementing anti-displacement strategies and laws to support affordable housing, rent stabilization, eviction protection, and strategies to cap property taxes, all aimed at combating green gentrification. Addressing green gentrification is not a quick fix, but rather requires multiple stakeholders to tackle decades of underinvestment in communities. “Policymakers, planners, parks and housing advocates, and local community-based organizations are increasingly recognizing the threat of green gentrification and taking action to limit displacement.” You can also play a part by staying informed and participating in your community, using this information to advocate for better alternatives for your community. Together, we can work towards more equitable and inclusive green initiatives that benefit everyone.
