Historically, zoning and building codes have contributed to the concentration of low-income people of color into public housing developments that are physically and financially segregated from the public life of their surrounding neighborhoods. That the legacies of racism continue to structure and inform the built environment of American cities is a gaping wound that can only be healed through urban alchemy—the reparation or reconstruction of the intentional, codified ways in which the urban landscape has been used to promote the subjugation of people based on their race.
Ifeoma Ebo and Nathan Williams will share student work from an experimental design studio centered on design justice and bring together housing experts from New York City and Syracuse to discuss housing and the Black community.
