Room UL105, University Center
Forced evictions have created an unprecedented trauma and damage across communities with the commodification of housing, the financialization of cities, and the continuous economic crises. This panel explores the anti-gentrification efforts of residents and neighborhood groups in the South Bronx, the immigrant activism that led to the largest anti-eviction movement in Spain, and critical maps, narratives, and tools documenting dispossession and resistance in gentrifying landscapes in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and New York City.
Moderator Gabriela Rendón is Assistant Professor of Urban Planning and Community Development at Parsons School of Design.
