can you tell us more about how the community gardens are linked to social change?

Welcome! Have a question for Dr. Anguelovski? Please type in the chat.

To clarify, the Kogan et al (2019) work on DC found that gentrification was the predictor of greening, correct? Or was it the other way? Thanks.

Seconding @LIsa Simon question.

^^^^^^

Dr. Anguelovski, I believe you suggested the DC research indicated that gentrification leads to greening and that greening didn't lead to gentrification. So how would you see this informing city green planning efforts? Does it mean we should proceed but couple with income equity initiatives or something like that?

Any examples you came across that have lead to less or no green gentrification? How might green infrastructure planning and development improve?

Given concerns about gentrification and historical distrust in government efforts, communities are sometimes distrustful of greening efforts. What in your experience are some strategies for overcoming this understandable hesitation and building trust in urban greening efforts?

can you speak to the power (or not) of land trusts for housing?

Interestingly, research I had seen suggested that one way to mitigate environmental gentrification is to green / clean the area, but not too much. Do it just enough for the benefits, but not to transfer the area into a highly desirable real estate. I'm hoping to find better solutions!

Are you going to share the presentation.

A recording of the presentation will be on citiesattufts.com.

Thank you.

And the audio will be available as a podcast on Shareable.net

That’s great that the recording will be available, thanks!

Will the recording of the presentation be closed captioned?

yes

Thanks!

And we’ll be releasing the transcript (with the podcast)

Excellent! Thank you!

can you share some citations of current "abolitionist storytelling"

^^

Thank you Isabelle!

(my question was answered during the lecture, so you may skip it)

can we get the cites to the works referenced?

Meghan, can you please put the contact info from the final slide into the chat?

Thank you, Neal!

thank you for that re: community gardens- I have seen the same phenomenon in NYC.

Great! Thank you!

What do think of the recent moves by certain US cities and states to abolish single family residential zoning? Will it lead to equity gains and increased access to green spaces and other valued amenities?

And non-Tufts students can sign-up for next week’s event “Sacred Civics:What would it mean to build seven generation cities?”(with Jayne Engle) here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sacred-civics-with-jayne-engle-tickets-138712977249?aff=

“ Neal’s question!

Returning to the Commons...

Thank you Tom!

You highlighted the inequity of greening in the footprint of highways and other forms of pollution. Can you talk more about this?

@Michelle yes: I wonder how recent movements for “commoning” could help us imagine decolonial and reparative forms of access to land, as well as social spaces and shared housing, libraries, tools, etc. What do you think of greening via commoning?

^^^^^^

and how might we take your question @Mimi and have us think about it across big time (at least 7 generations)?

Right @Michelle! If we bring back indigenous ontologies that recognize the earth as sacred we could also avoid “green colonialism” along with “green gentrification”.

greening as disaster risk reduction https://www.facebook.com/PEDRRnetwork/

There is a master plan for coastal resilience in East Boston that involves a barrier that protects areas in the interior of the neighborhood. I think the challenge is how to coordinate the individual ddvelopments and harness them.

Are there examples of greened green field redevelopment?

Thank you, Isabelle Anguelovski and everyone for your great questions!

Marginalized communities may not belong to an environmental organizations but often work in unions of civil rights/religious organizations that do focus on environmental and climate justice. If we belong to an environmental group or research environmental issues, how might it be encouraged to broaden our outreach/access to more people from different backgrounds? What types of allyship would these groups like to see from environmental researchers?

*belong to environmental organizations *unions or civil rights

challenge is to common within the existing legal structure.
