This article by Sarah Schindler highlights the subtle yet powerful role that architecture and urban design play in perpetuating discrimination and segregation. It presents compelling examples, such as low-hanging overpasses in New York and the resistance to expanding public transit in Atlanta, which demonstrate how physical structures can restrict access and maintain racial and economic divides. The discussion raises important questions about the often-overlooked regulatory power of architecture and its implications for equity in urban environments.
