| NEW REPORT: "PLANNING, POWER, AND POSSIBILITIES"
Private redevelopment is in full tilt in downtown Los Angeles—and cities across the nation—but with what is often welcome progress also comes unequal gains and potential problems of displacement.
Planning, Power, and Possibilities tells the story behind two community benefits negotiations forged by the United Neighbors in Defense Against Displacement (UNIDAD) coalition in South Central L.A. In two community organizing victories, UNIDAD has proven that community organizations and private developers can forge a shared future, using tools like community benefits agreements.
In this report, PERE puts these agreements in a broader context, showing how histories matter, movements matter, and models matter for achieving mutually beneficial wins and building inclusive, diverse, and vibrant cities.
