Re(Generating) Inclusive Cities: Poverty and Planning in Urban North America

By Ariel Judith Taylor

This groundbreaking work examines the role of urban planning in shaping poverty and inequality in North American cities. Drawing on extensive research and case studies, Taylor argues that traditional planning practices have often exacerbated these issues, failing to address the needs of low-income residents and communities of color.

Taylor proposes a transformative approach to planning that centers equity and inclusion. She advocates for policies and practices that promote affordable housing, accessible transportation, and healthy neighborhoods. By rethinking the way we plan our cities, we can create more just and sustainable communities for all.

Key Features:

* Explores the historical and contemporary relationship between poverty and planning in North American cities
* Analyzes the impact of planning policies and practices on low-income residents and communities of color
* Proposes a transformative approach to planning that centers equity and inclusion
* Includes case studies from across North America
* Written by a leading expert in the field of urban planning

This book is essential reading for planners, policymakers, community activists, and anyone concerned about the future of our cities.

As suburban expansion declines, cities have become essential economic, cultural and social hubs of global connectivity. This book is about urban revitalization across North America, in cities including San Francisco, Toronto, Boston, Vancouver, New York and Seattle. Infrastructure projects including the High Line and Big Dig are explored alongside urban neighborhood creation and regeneration projects such as Hunters Point in San Francisco and Regent Park in Toronto. Today, these urban regeneration projects have evolved in the context of unprecedented neoliberal public policy and soaring real estate prices. Consequently, they make a complex contribution to urban inequality and poverty trends in many of these cities, including the suburbanization of immigrant settlement and rising inequality.

(Re)Generating Inclusive Cities wrestles with challenging but important questions of urban planning, including who benefits and who loses with these urban regeneration schemes, and what policy tools can be used to mitigate harm? We propose a new way forward for understanding and promoting better urban design practices in order to build more socially just and inclusive cities and to ultimately improve the quality of urban life for all.
