Right to the City: From Policing to Planning: Putting People in Charge – Laura Flanders Show

Posted by Laura Flanders | Mar 9, 2016 | Laura Flanders Show, Politics | 0 |

From Laura Flanders: Can residents determine how their cities change? They can certainly have an impact, say Aaron Bartley and John Washington of People United for Sustainable Housing (P.U.S.H.) in Buffalo, New York. PUSH Buffalo brings people together to create sustainable neighborhoods with quality affordable housing, green jobs and next generation infrastructure. Could their model apply where you live? Also in this show, Laura discusses the “great corporate buy-up” of our cities. Is that public plaza public, private or who knows?
