Reflections on Urban Renewal

Urban Renewal as a propagator of social divides in the United States.

 Urban Renewal as a form of welfare.

Urban Renewal as reverse welfare.

Who does the urban environment belong to?

Does Urban imply urban renewal

Is urban a form of urban renewal?

people sell the land
           people live on the land
                                   people buy the land

                           Who are you? who will you become....
I remember my grandmother teaching us about the land, the geography that raised us...

What does Urban Renewal become?
I can see the future....

Are there others forms out there?
                   How long does it take?

I can feel the people around me...

Does it cost money?

A true sense of community....
                           Does it cost lives?
How much are you getting out of it?

                  How long will you keep your eye on things?
I remember my mother, how she used to hang up our clothes on the front lawn for all the town to see....
Will you do it again?


                       Just the same?
Will it hurt?                                        Will it scar?                     what are the repercussions?

When will things come back?            Long term
How far have we gone?
When did we depart from reason?
                       Where are things heading?                  Short term
                     
                                                     Whose in charge?
Does the public know about this?
What vengeance shall I take
               Shouldn't we say something?
Does it always have to be unfair?                 What happened to equal rights?


Where are we heading?

                                                 


                                        Urban Renewal, o what hatred you breed.


Urban Renewal as a social metaphor

Urban Renewal as forced change
                                          Interaction
                                                  well being

Urban Renewal as untouchable?

Urban Renewal as God
