Designing for and against Symbolic Boundaries

No 6aeum, SocArXiv from Center for Open Science

Abstract: I argue that, via the mixture of physical and symbolic boundaries, placemaking and urban design reinforce inequality, albeit less overtly than the architecture of fear Davis identifies and shifted in response to the new political economy. That shift also offers an opportunity to reimagine an urban design that subverts that inequality. To understand urban design today, urban planner Marlon Williams pointedly asks, “As urban planners, are we revolutionaries? Or are we the very reason there needs to be a revolution?”
