US urban planners have supported racial discrimination facing Black citizens by supporting and enforcing locational constraints. Some urban planning practices—specifically central city redevelopment and land use regulations such as zoning—supported historic racial segregation and exacerbated present concentration of Blacks in high-poverty neighborhoods. Living in such places has major repercussions for oppressed people’s ability to flourish. Discussing the relationship between racism and urban planning reveals at least one conundrum we face as a society: deceptively benign professional actions pursued in the midst of racism and classism can safeguard the well-being of a dominant majority even as they repress the ability of an oppressed minority to flourish. Institutional racism barring access to neighborhoods and municipalities with superior amenities has warped critical pathways that lead to many dimensions of human flourishing.
