Are gateway communities facing a new urban apartheid? Lessons from Chelsea, Massachusetts
The Black radical tradition (Robinson, 2000) has recently re-energized the urban geography and planning debates, pushing for antiracist and counterhegemonic spatial practices. Along these lines, Roy suggests stepping away from displacement and gentrification jargon and switching attention to processes of dispossession and racial banishment as primary reconceptualization driving relevant ontologies and epistemologies of resistance (Roy, 2019). This conceptual framework leads to the investigation of how state power and planning practices dispossess and deprive racialized bodies – Black, Brown, and Indigenous individuals – of their place, identity, inner-self feelings, and emotions. In this paper, we are interested in exploring the nature of adaptation planning practices designed in the face of climate change. In this particular realm of planning practice, we want to step away from the mainstream conceptualizations of green gentrification and displacement. Instead, we aim to look at the role of planning in producing urban change that intentionally excludes racialized bodies. By building on existing literature on climate apartheid focused on the connection between climate change effects and initiatives and the segregation and exclusion of disadvantaged populations (Rice et al., 2022), we argue the existence of a new urban apartheid. We draw from Davidoffs’ initial definition of urban apartheid applied to planning to probe the intentional use of public planning to discriminate against specific communities using de jure and de facto discriminatory planning practices (Davidoff & Davidoff, 1970). We advance the argument that adaptation planning uses implementation tools that determine the segregation of certain racialized bodies over others. We make this argument by drawing from in-depth interviews, community engagement workshops, and engaged learning pedagogy experiments designed as part of an ongoing research process in the City of Chelsea, one of the many gateway communities of the Massachusetts Northeast Coast. ...
