We Shouldn't Have to Move Out to Move UpKeywords: new urbanism , infill , racial discrimination , community activism , urban planning Abstract: One of the assumptions of the New Urbanism is that cities need to encourage increased density near the core. That means that infill becomes a planning goal to increase density. But that also means that current residents have to move out so others can move in. As a community activist, Hester argues that such planning practices are racist, part of the next racial agenda. (A video file is included).
