They've seen an interstate cut their once-thriving neighborhood in half. They've seen their community cut off from the commercial and cultural engines of the city. They've seen racialized terror visited on their own backyards. But through it all, they've fought to hold onto the place they love.We Are North Nashville: The Podcast is about the lives of elders who call North Nashville home, in their own words. It's about the ways the elders have kept joy alive in their neighborhood in spite of all the challenges it has faced. It's about the history that newcomers to the city don't always know, or even think to ask about. It's about walking the streets and still seeing the way people held this place together, even when city planners set about ripping it apart.This is a show about North Nashville. It's also a story about the United States, where Black communities have been cut apart, razed and deprived for generations in the name of progress that does not include them. More importantly, We Are North Nashville is what happens when the people who live history get to tell it.Hosted by M. Simone Boyd and Andrea TudhopeProduced, edited and mixed by Andrea TudhopeOriginal music by S-WrapAdditional production by Steve Haruch more

Want to understand more about what gentrification means and how to both defy and eradicate it? Join me, Kristen Jeffers, Black queer feminist, disabled, urbanist essayist, editor, and urban planner from the South, living in the MidAtlantic, each week, along with some special guests, to discuss gentrification: what it is, and what it isn't, and how we as Black folks and our co-conspirators, can not just survive on a changing planet but thrive. We'll discuss hot topics in urban planning, real estate, housing, and transportation. We will teach you everything you need to know about complex and complicated topics in the field, so you can be equipped to help your community thrive.

Back in 2019, we were watching this City—our City—go through some major shifts driven by the impacts of gentrification, displacement, and tech. So we launched a podcast called San Francisco inFLUX.Our goals with that project were to explore the complex dynamics of this transformation—It was about understanding the real forces behind this change—forces that were reshaping the culture, pushing out long-time communities, and leaving a lot of us wondering where we fit in. We highlighted the people and stories that weren't getting the spotlight and really dug into what's current and next for the people who make this place home.Since then, our City has continued to be upended by the ever-present impacts of gentrification, and our already deep social inequities have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.Look, our City has seen better days, we're grappling with challenges that don't have easy answers but what we've noticed about the prevailing narrative is that it paints a hopeless picture that's quite anxious and dystopian. This way of viewing San Francisco is somewhat fair, but it stifles aspirations, leads to feelings of apathy, and disengages the very people us who should be working together to find solutions.Here's the thing—we know San Francisco still has something special. It's got us. We're resilient, compassionate at heart, and familiar with the pavement. We can turn this around. So that's why we're hyped to announce that we're shifting gears. We're relaunching the podcast under a new name: San Francisco Revival.We're focusing on the movements, the stories, and the people who are *actively* pushing back against the doom and gloom. We're providing words of resilience, healing, and hope. We're not going to let anyone write us off. Let's get to work on the City's Comeback Story. This is San Francisco Revival, a Mission Housing podcast. more

Housing prices in Austin have exploded in the past decade, leading to a city that's not just unaffordable — but also highly segregated. None of this happened by accident. It's the result of decades of decisions about what — if anything — gets built in Austin and where. From a master plan to move Black and brown residents to one part of town, to fights over how to protect the environment, to an outdated land development code — all of these are pieces in a machine that's engineered Austin's housing market. more
