Common sense solutions for affordable housing that is truly affordable
Gentrification and displacement of low-income communities of color are major issues in New York City and the city's zoning policies are a major cause. Race matters but the city ignores it when shaping land use and housing policies. The city promises "affordable housing" that is not truly affordable. Zoned Out! shows how this has played in Williamsburg, Harlem and Chinatown, neighborhoods facing massive displacement of people of color. It looks at ways the city can address inequalities, promote authentic community-based planning and develop housing in the public domain. Tom Angotti and Sylvia Morse frame the revised edition of this seminal work with a tribute to the late urbanist and architect Michael Sorkin and his progressive and revolutionary approaches to cities as well as a new preface about changes in city policy since Mayor Bill de Blasio left office and what rights citizens need to defend. The book includes a foreword by the late, distinguished urban planning educator Peter Marcuse and individual chapters by community activist Philip DePaola, housing policy analyst Samuel Stein, and both the editors.Languages:EnglishPublisher:New Village PressISBN-13:9781613322079ISBN-10:1613322070UPC:9781613322079Book Category:Political Science, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:Public Policy, Sociology, Race & Ethnic RelationsBook Topic:City Planning & Urban Development, UrbanSize:9.00 x 6.00 x 0.70 inchesWeight:0.65Product ID:SCF628RX55
