How we listen to the city is as important as what we are listening for. @shannonmattern's latest article explores urban listening tools and ways of knowing the city. placesjournal.org/article/urban-…

“We are the living proof that self-determined life&social spaces can not be enforced w/, but only AGAINST interests in profit. We are the harbingers of a better future as a solidary city. We will not accept that more & more projects are to be put on the streets.” #KeinHausWeniger
Your move @APA_Planning ! #GreenNewDeal
And there's lots to learn from the history of the struggle of NYCHA residents in this fight! Highly suggest reading this article: “We the Tenants”: Resident Organizing in New York City’s Public Housing, 1964-1978 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… @NickJuravich

"There is still a role for this kind of activist urban planner, not just outside the system, but in it. People have to organize & not just do it personally, in their free time, but do it collectively, in part so you can get out of the groupthink that’s imposed on planners."
Who builds the city? We do! In “Creativity in Making the Built Environment,” Richard Harris calls for a nuanced appreciation of the ingenuity that goes into generating, maintaining, & renovating everyday places. (Photo source: Laurie Turtle.) #architecture platformspace.net/home/creativit…
"...to reimagine climate politics through the lens of the city as both the frontline impact zone and the potential source of grassroots alternatives informed by the principles of climate justice." 🔥 assets.centerforthehumanities.org/downloads/Clim… #ClimateAction
@The_Red_Nation "Our goal was to explore what a climate politics oriented around popular sovereignty and limitless possibility might look like. In other words, we sought to find resources of hope in a time of climate emergency." assets.centerforthehumanities.org/downloads/Clim… #ClimateAction
"What would a set of radical demands for city-wide #climateaction look like?" assets.centerforthehumanities.org/downloads/Clim… #NYC
"As we face the continued acceleration of inequality & the limits of the “free market” in adequately serving the needs of the most vulnerable Americans--as well environmental imperative of addressing climate change--we need to urgently reconsider how we see economic development."
How can we talk about any #urbanplanning without talking about the climate crisis / climate emergency?! The #GreenNewDeal provides a framework FOR planners to begin to reckon with the reality of planning for a future that is actually habitable. The status quo is untenable.
Conversations are circling around how to embody the world we dream for, so that we can work toward it in concrete ways. Keeping in mind all of the activism and advocacy that happens because people have no choice. What can we learn from them? How can we work i solidarity?
So much inspiration from the #AffordableForWhom conference ! Amazing to learn from these groups leading the movement for decommodified and just community control of land and housing 🌟 Thanks to @NYCCLI @NESRIorg @NewEconomyNYC @ourcity @pthny for convening ! #HomesForAll
