The Lingering Effects of Neighborhood Appraisal: Evaluating Redlining's Legacy in Pittsburgh

TL;DR: Place-based classifications can create long-standing influences on neighborhood fortunes as mentioned in this paper, and redlining is a classic example of these unintended effects, which can be traced back to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board's decision to use redlining.

TL;DR: The themes of animals, and more specifically the subkingdom of insects, became clear and apparent with the Joshi case taking questions and the unusual description of ‘light through trees’ and dislike of ants indicated Formica rufa as a curative remedy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a proprietary market value assessment that is being used to guide development in cities across the United States is examined, and the authors argue that the racial, infrastructural, and epistemological violence associated with this evaluation can potentially lead to a new kind of municipal redlining.
Abstract: City governments are embracing data-driven and algorithmic planning to tackle urban problems. Data-driven analytics have an unprecedented capacity to call urban futures into being. At the same time, they can depoliticize planning decisions. I argue that this shift calls urban studies scholars to investigate geographies of algorithmic violence?a repetitive and standardized form of violence that contributes to the racialization of space and spatialization of poverty. This article examines this broader phenomenon through the case of a proprietary market value assessment that is being used to guide development in cities across the United States. The assessment employs an algorithm that helps city officials make critical decisions about which neighborhoods to target for investment, disinvestment and public service upgrades or disconnections. I argue that the racial, infrastructural, and epistemological violence associated with this evaluation can potentially lead to a new kind of municipal redlining. The article brings insights from critical race theory into conversation with critical scholarship on algorithms by analyzing how algorithmic violence works through data-driven planning technologies to depoliticize and leverage power while further entrenching racism and inequality.

TL;DR: In this article, the relevance of growth to the interests of various social groups is examined in this context, particularly with reference to the issue of unemployment, and recent social trends in opposition to growth are described and their potential consequences evaluated.
Abstract: A city and, more generally, any locality, is conceived as the areal expression of the interests of some land-based elite. Such an elite is seen to profit through the increasing intensification of the land use of the area in which its members hold a common interest. An elite competes with other land-based elites in an effort to have growth-inducing resources invested within its own area as opposed to that of another. Governmental authority, at the local and nonlocal levels, is utilized to assist in achieving this growth at the expense of competing localities. Conditions of community life are largely a consequence of the social, econimic, and political forces embodied in this growth machine. The relevance of growth to the interests of various social groups is examined in this context, particularly with reference to the issue of unemployment. Recent social trends in opposition to growth are described and their potential consequences evaluated.
