“…We focus on how the field of urban planning has discussed planning in immigrant communities. There is a whole body of literature about how to plan in immigrant communities, some of which is very particular to planning practice and focused on how to plan in the context of the specific needs of immigrants (see, for instance, Allen & Slotterback, 2017;Kim et al, 2018;Tuohy & Talen, 2017). We are not critiquing this body of work here, because it remains at the level of empirical specificity and practical guidance.…”

The literature on planning in immigrant communities has been one based on the premise that immigrants are different from native-born people, and therefore planning for immigrant communities must therefore also be different. In this article, we challenge that premise through a discussion of a set of neighborhood developments and conflicts in Queens, New York, the most diverse county in the United States. We root those conflicts not in different cultural practices, but in the working of racial capitalism. The stories in Queens are stories not of conflicts of identity, they are conflicts of class; even if those class conflicts are inherently racialized. the foreignness of foreigners, the strangeness of strangers: these things are real enough. It's just that we've been encouraged, not least by well-meaning intellectuals, to exaggerate their significance by an order of magnitude-Kwame Anthony Appiah 1 Race is thus, also, the modality in which class is "lived", the medium through which class relations are experienced, the form in which it is appropriated and "fought through"-Stuart Hall 2

“…Scholars of the built environment have highlighted how urban forms can also perpetuate immigrants’ oppression. Housing and public spaces are designed for “standard,” white users while neglecting the needs of “others” (Gibson, Loukaitou-Sideris, and Mukhija 2019; Tuohy and Talen 2017). Transportation infrastructures, or lack thereof, restrict mobilities (Schindler 2014; Valenzuela, Schweitzer, and Robles 2005).…”

Visibility as Justice: Immigrant Street Vendors and the Right to Difference in Rome

Dominant constructions of what looks “appropriate” enable the exclusion of poor immigrants from public spaces around the world. This paper analyzes how Bangladeshi vendors challenge exclusion by tactically appearing and disappearing in Rome’s iconic landscapes. While xenophobic, pro-decorum regulations seek to banish marginalized subjects from the tourist-friendly city center, immigrant vendors mobilize their own visibility by emplacing urbanisms of opportunity, refuge, and belonging. Learning from these urbanisms, planners can deploy a spatial lens of visibility to advance the right to difference. I propose In Plain Site, a policy and place-making approach that helps empower oppressed groups to see and be seen in the city.
