Impact of Robert Moses' Urban Planning on Black Neighborhoods
The chapter explores how Robert Moses, a prominent public official, intentionally excluded black neighborhoods in New York City from receiving essential recreational facilities like playgrounds and swimming pools in the 1930s, showcasing systemic racism in urban planning decisions. It delves into Moses' discriminatory practices in the allocation of resources and the negative consequences of his infrastructure projects on marginalized communities. The chapter also discusses the long-term effects of prioritizing car-centric infrastructure over community-focused urban planning, leading to neighborhood displacement and social decay.
