New York City does zoning without planning. Its zoning changes are displacing low-income communities of color while protecting segregated neighborhoods. Its "affordable housing" is not truly affordable. Case studies of Willliamsburg, Harlem and Chinatown show how race matters but is not acknowledged in land use and housing policies. Zoned Out! proposes ways to address inequalities, promote authentic community-based planning, and housing in the public domain.
"From NYC's 1811 grid to Bloomberg and De Blasio's upzonings, Zoned Out! shines light on the deceptive ways seemingly race neutral zoning laws continue to maintain and promote the racial and socioeconomic hierarchies America was built to support. A must read for housing advocates, organizers, journalists and academics alike." -- Andrew J. Padilla, Director of El Barrio Tours: Gentrification USA
"Full of insight and provocation, this volume is essential reading for those scholars, students, and activists searching for alternative courses of action to widespread urban displacement, growing income inequality, and resurgent racial polarization in the United States." -- J. Phillip Thompson, MIT, Department of Urban Studies and Planning
"New York is a city of neighborhoods, but Angotti, Morse, and their coauthors show that city planning policies systematically disenfranchise and displace low-income New Yorkers who live in historic communities of color. They urge us to rethink what 'affordable' housing means, and develop the political will to aim for a radically different system of public resources and community plans." -- Sharon Zukin, Brooklyn College and CUNY Graduate Center
