Community Cultural Imprints: a Guide to Alter the Space Black Americans Occupy through Culturally Competent Urban Planning

Greene, Chloe Blysse

Abstract Details

2016, Master of City and Regional Planning, Ohio State University, City and Regional Planning.
This thesis examines the extent to which urban planners shared responsibility in creating conditions where black Americans suffered due to discriminatory, unjust state and federal planning policies, and examines the need for increased cooperation between urban planners and the black American urban community. Through an examination of previous planning models, the author indicates how urban planners have failed to address the concerns of marginalized groups, and why an alternative model is needed for urban planning practice. Addressing the need for an alternative model, the author proposes a model based in cultural competency intended to best serve black communities in need of equitable community development. The model includes the establishment of community cultural imprints, and explains the need for black Americans to be engaged in the development of their own communities.
