Beyond Redlining: How the Theft of Black-Owned Land and Property Endures Thursday, February 13, 6:30pm — 8:00pm Jerry H. Labowitz Theatre for the Performing Arts 1 Washington Place New York, NY , USA What does the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA), one of the largest pension funds in the United States, have to do with the Reconstruction-era Freedmen’s Bureau? What does forgery have to do with gentrification, or color-coded maps with closed fire stations? The processes by which Black Americans have been dispossessed of land and property are tangled, insidious, and enduring. Our discussion will expose the ways in which this theft takes place in both rural and urban contexts and consider effective methods to resist. Vann R.

[UrbanStudiesCircular] Last Chance to RSVP for "The History and Future of NYC Highways"
by urbanstudiescircular＠lists.qc.cuny.edu 04 Feb '20

The History and Future of NYC Highways Tuesday, Feb. 11th, 6:30 PM Since the days of Robert Moses, communities throughout New York City have navigated a legacy of highways that divided neighborhoods from one another and complicated access to other parts of the city. For decades, these same communities have advocated for plans that could reverse this legacy, helping restitch geographies and repair social cohesion. Today, the debates about highway infrastructure have expanded to confront the reality that much of this infrastructure is in need of critical updates to extend its useful life and prepare for the future of mobility. In light of speculation and proposals on the BQE and Sheridan Expressway, New York City is in a race against time when it comes to dealing with the fate and future of its highway system. Practical questions of engineering standards, project delivery, freight transportation demands, congestion, community development and environmental impact all converge when considering what the highways of the future will look like. As new projects arise and old projects are overhauled, what does this mean for planning, innovative design thinking, and policy reform? Does the retrofit of the Westside Highway/Route 9A provide an ideal template for adapting to an evolving future? Will we recognize the opportunities to address community sustainability and transportation evolution? Join us for a critical discussion on the history and future of highways in New York City, part of Open House New York's year-long series<https://sable.madmimi.com/c/95943?id=654242.1940.1.367887e31c2f10fe4ba840a5…> of tours, conversations, and debates about the future of transportation and mobility in the City.
