Urban Planning and re-Segregation

60 US dollars

Course Description

Course Description This course examines the current and historical conditions and planning decisions that worsened and often gave rise to urban poverty. The legacy of these decisions is still felt today. The enfranchised benefit from intergenerational wealth while disruptions to the civic fabric of disenfranchised communities further compromised the living conditions and the very futures of the poor. We haven’t known the inequality we’re experiencing today since the late 1800s. Declining opportunities rock the mythology of the American Dream to its core. “It’s all right to tell a man to lift himself by his own bootstraps,” MLK once noted, “but it is cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps.” We will explore case studies that give texture to how historic decisions disrupted living patterns. State-sanctioned racism in the form of planning decisions coupled with the failure to develop or enforce environmental regulations undermine public health and mental wellness, especially for the poor in our inner cities. These are important to Social Workers who serve clients still suffering under the weight of these forces. The larger historical context of these case studies will be discussed. Cities in the early 1900s were ethnically, racially and socio-economically heterogeneous. That is no longer the case. African Americans moved from the South to urban centers at the same time whites emigrated to suburbs. White flight is well documented. Today inhabitants of our cities are largely non-white and poor. Cities still account for the creation of great wealth. They also host abysmal living conditions and a concentration of poverty that is radically at odds with their economic vitality. Adequate time will be given for discussion to help connect course content to your work as Social Workers. Course Objectives Identify key historical and structural factors, including state-sanctioned racism and environmental policy failures, that continue to affect public health, mental wellness, and socio-economic conditions in urban areas Analyze case studies that illustrate the long-term consequences of these planning decisions and how they shape current urban poverty Connect historical context and urban poverty dynamics to their work as Social Workers, fostering greater empathy and more informed approaches to serving clients affected by these issues
