The design-politics of decolonization
Decolonization, like colonization itself, takes many forms. These forms intertwine politics with design in numerous ways that both signal and propel post-independence power shifts. In India, Edwin Lutyens designed New Delhi's grand ceremonial axis – the Kingsway – to reinforce British imperial claims, placing the Viceroy's House at the western end and punctuating the eastern end with a Grand Canopy housing an imposing statue of King-Emperor Georg…
The Equitable Resilience Framework
The Persistent Challenges of U.S. Housing Policy
Twenty-five years ago, Housing Policy Debate published an excellent special issue to mark the 50th anniversary of the passage of the 1949 Housing Act (Lang & Sohmer, 2000). At that moment, the Unit
Urban Visual Intelligence
The visual dimension of cities has been a fundamental subject in urban studies since the pioneering work of late-nineteenth- to mid-twentieth-century scholars such as Camillo Sitte, Kevin Lynch, Rudolf Arnheim, and Jane Jacobs. Several decades later, big data and artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing how people move, sense, and interact with cities. This article reviews the literature on the appearance and function of cities to illustr…
Ending gated communities
Although gated communities (GCs) have spread globally, their prevalence in China is often attributed to China’s unique tradition of gated living. In 2016, China announced policy recommendations intending to end GCs, which faced societal resistance. To elucidate the nature of this resistance, we interviewed experienced Chinese officials, practitioners, and scholars—who, inevitably, were themselves GC residents. They challenge the policy in two way…

Housing Haussmann’s Paris
Georges-Eugène Haussmann’s tenure as Prefect of the Seine from 1853 to 1870 has been widely associated with the modernization of Paris. In this paper, we contextualize and evaluate the prefect’s intentions and policies related to housing by bringing archival documents into conversation with nineteenth-century commentary on Haussmann’s activities, ensuing scholarship investigating the era, and spatial analysis, with a focus on a case-study site in…

Promises and perils of collective land tenure in promoting urban resilience
Hoping for more
Urban restructuring policies have uprooted residents and dismantled communities. Previous studies focus on housing redevelopment that minimizes the fraction of housing units left for poor residents and on interviewing residents only once the redevelopment has been announced. By contrast, this paper examines how residents over time experienced the HOPE VI redevelopment of the Orchard Park public housing project in Boston, which sought to preserve …
Lease it or lose it? The implications of New York’s Land Lease Initiative for public housing preservation
Urban scholars frequently call for equitable and inclusive growth to create more just cities but this vision has proven elusive in urban development – especially involving low-income communities and affordable housing. In 2013, the New York City Housing Authority proposed to leverage private development to benefit low-income residents by supporting market-rate residential construction on open space in public housing sites to pay for needed improv…

From the Puritans to the Projects
The Resilient city
Though cities are always shaped by destruction as well as construction, the particular history, forms, and problems of urban reconstruction became exceptionally salient in the United States after September 11, 2001.The destruction of the World Trade Center--or, more precisely, the predominant narration of that destruction by U.S. politicians and the media outlets that reiterated them--yielded a newly-heightened interest in how cities respond to d…
The Resilient City
In 1871, the city of Chicago was almost entirely destroyed by what became known as The Great Fire. Thirty-five years later, San Francisco lay in smoldering ruins after the catastrophic earthquake of 1906. Or consider the case of the Jerusalem, the greatest site of physical destruction and renewal in history, which, over three millennia, has suffered wars, earthquakes, fires, twenty sieges, eighteen reconstructions, and at least eleven transitions…

From the Puritans to the Projects
With the recent destruction of some infamous post–World War II public housing highrises and continuing interest in how best to meet the housing needs of lowincome city dwellers, a number of very recent publications on the topic have appeared. Of the two books considered here, Lawrence J. Vale's From the Puritans to the Projects is the more significant for its time coverage from the colonial period through the 1990s, its juxtaposition of housing t…
From the Puritans to the Projects
Lawrence J. Vale’s groundbreaking book is both a comprehensive institutional history of public housing in Boston and a broader examination of the nature and extent of public obligation to house socially and economically marginal Americans during the past 350 years

Empathological Places
It is often assumed that most residents of large public housing projects in America's inner cities would welcome the opportunity to leave such places. This study, based on indepth interviews with 267 residents of five public housing developments in Boston, examines the reasons why two-thirds of these respondents say they would like to stay put, and also discusses the factors that make the other one-third eager to depart. The article concludes by …
