A cascade of crises is forcing America to confront the racism of its past and present—from overt acts of hate to subtler injustices that shape our society. Over 16 weeks, City Limits and Enterprise Community Partners will feature prominent New Yorkers’ views on how race and housing policy intersect to create a legacy each of us must confront, and the way forward we should take together. These are not necessarily views we endorse. But they are views we fully believe are important to share with each other.

Building Justice: How to Undesign the Decades of Racial Redlining that Scar U.S. Cities

April de Simone, Braden Crooks, Charles Chawalko and Gregory Jost | October 31, 2016

We must vehemently reject the basic assumptions of Redlining: that some are inherently more valuable and have more to offer society than others. It will require more than patches or policy fixes. We need an intentionally transformational approach.

Building Justice: Segregation in NYC Schools is No Accident

Ujju Aggarwal and Donna Nevel | October 24, 2016

School segregation is also blamed on residential patterns that are themselves seen as organic. In reality, the disparities of class and race profoundly and deliberately shape neighborhoods and schools.

Building Justice: Racial Stereotypes Shape Perceptions of New York’s Public Housing

Nicholas Dagen Bloom | October 17, 2016

The challenges that confront NYCHA today are in large measure the result of changed perceptions of public housing after the system’s one-time white majority fled for the suburbs.

Building Justice: NYC’s Sacrifice Zones and the Environmental Legacy of Racial Injustice

Peggy Shepard | October 10, 2016

‘The primary predictor of where a toxic waste site is located in this country is whether the location is in a community of color. ‘

Building Justice: Genetic Code, ZIP Code and Housing Code All Affect Health and Equality

Amanda Reddy and David Jacobs | October 3, 2016

Health outcomes–and things that depend on them like school performance–are shaped by housing quality. Housing quality is shaped by segregation. And segregation reflects policies that separated Americans by race.

Building Justice: How Segregation Enables Over-Policing of Communities of Color

Runa Rajagopal | September 26, 2016

A long history of de facto segregation in housing has enabled discriminatory and excessive policing of communities of color.

Building Justice: The Lasting Racial Stain of the Foreclosure Crisis

Caroline Nagy | September 19, 2016

While the foreclosure crisis has largely receded from today’s headlines, its impacts continue to reverberate for many families and their communities throughout New York City and nationwide.

Building Justice: How Homeownership Failed NYC’s Black Families

Colvin Grannum | September 12, 2016
