What is the relationship between racialized policing and urban transformation? This Institute research project, and related storymap produced in partnership with the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, uncovers the role of nuisance abatement in Black and Brown neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Drawing attention to surveillance, displacement, and real estate speculation, our programs and publications serve as a counterpoint to racial banishment, foregrounding past and current tenant organizing that have challenged such state violence.
