Welcome to our inaugural episode, where we plunge headfirst into gentrification. Joining us is the venerable Majora Carter, a creative force of urban renewal whose insights raise critical questions concerning the fabric of our cities. Together, we dissect the subtle nuances of gentrification, from its inception to its enduring grip on neighborhoods. Majora unveils the sinister machinations of legal and policy frameworks that result in displacement, offering a scathing critique of the status quo. But fret not, listeners, for amidst the chaos, there lies hope. Majora imparts invaluable wisdom on how individuals can wield their power to reclaim their communities. So buckle up, folks, because this episode promises to be a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of urban transformation.
