Here are some notes from the race & class in urban planning panel. They are completely unedited, and thus riddled with typos and spelling errors, but I'm not sure I'll have the spoons to clean them up. Feel free to edit, redistribute, etc.
Panel description:
How does centralized planning divide our cities along lines of race and class? Subsidized housing, elevated freeways, new condos, zoning regulations: who decides where these are placed, and for what purposes? From Tyrion Lannister scouring King’s Landing during war to Ariane Emory programming the populations of Cyteen and Gehenna, these issues affect our fictional worlds too. Let’s talk about how power and urban planning interact.
M: Steven Schwartz, Ian K. Hagemann, Katharine Kerr, Vylar Kaftan
