Abstract

Abstract Problem, research strategy, and findings Planners face great urgency to account for the field’s entanglement with White supremacy and rebuild from harm. Yet the actual practice of reparative planning in political communities still mired in racial inequalities and public institutions entangled in the production of racialized space is hardly straightforward. Anti-racist reckonings and reparations measures occurring within institutionalized venues are necessary starting points for reparative planning that can be further supplemented and amplified by anti-racist struggles and social practices in different arenas. Using a multimethod research design combining direct participation and nonparticipant observation with document-based research using primary and secondary sources and interviews, this case study of Alliance for Community Transit–Los Angeles (ACT-LA) explores infrastructural systems as key areas of racial harm, focal points of anti-racist resistance, and keystones for reparative planning. The substantive analysis focuses on ACT-LA’s Reimagining Safety initiative, which seeks to replace Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Agency’s racialized policing practices with public investments in community-based systems of safety. Case findings help expand points of entry and paths for reparative planning, inform strategies by planners embracing the reparative turn, and strengthen connections between community-based mobilizations and reparative planning. Takeaway for practice Planners can advocate for institutionalized and social practices of reparative planning in the issue areas, sectors, and organizations in which we work, in solidarity with the reparations movement and other anti-racist struggles.

从基础设施维修到修复规划
摘要问题、研究策略和研究结果规划者面临着解释该领域与白人至上主义纠缠并从伤害中重建的巨大紧迫性。然而,在仍然深陷种族不平等和公共机构与种族化空间的生产纠缠不清的政治社区中,补偿性规划的实际实践很难直截了当。在制度化场所内进行的反种族主义清算和赔偿措施是修复规划的必要起点,可以通过不同领域的反种族主义斗争和社会实践进一步补充和扩大。洛杉矶社区交通联盟(ACT-LA)的案例研究采用多方法研究设计,将直接参与和非参与观察与基于文献的研究结合起来,利用第一手资料和二手资料以及访谈,探讨了基础设施系统作为种族危害的关键领域、反种族主义抵抗的焦点和修复规划的关键。实质性分析侧重于ACT-LA的“重塑安全”倡议,该倡议旨在通过对社区安全系统的公共投资取代洛杉矶大都会交通局的种族化警务实践。案例调查结果有助于扩大修复规划的切入点和路径,为接受修复转向的规划者提供战略信息,并加强社区动员与修复规划之间的联系。规划人员可以在我们工作的问题领域、部门和组织中倡导制度化和社会实践的修复规划,与赔偿运动和其他反种族主义斗争团结一致。
