Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses:
Jane Jacobs vs Robert Moses: Urban Fight of the Century (Links to an external site.)
In the name of renaming the community, Robert Moses overlooked a plan to completely redesign and reorganize Greenwich Village in order for it to come out of a “slum”. However, as construction went underway, residence grouped together to fight against Moses. Their group leader, Jane Jacobs, was selected due to her vast knowledge about public spacing.
Housing discrimination
Where housing is located contributes to education, neighbors, home ownership, etc. In one example, two identically qualifying males of a white race and one of minority where not given the same opportunity to view certain housing. This makes me think how communities with a high percentage of a single race are formed and organized, and by who.
