Urban planning and racism

Systemic racism has been reinforced in many ways since the abolition of slavery. Federal departments actually classified neighborhoods on a scale of "hazardous", which would determine the likelihood of approving loans in those areas. But "hazardous" usually meant that the neighborhoods were comprised of mostly black residents.

Lines were drawn around these areas coining the term "redlining". Redlining reinforced overt racism and negative stereotypes through segregation. We are fighting a system that has divested from our black communities for this country's entire history. The first step to changing a system is learning the system's deep and extremely damaging past. How can we be more socially conscious in urban planning and design?

Bisate Lodge in Ruhengeri

📍Rwanda, designed by Nicholas Plewman Architects.

Inspired by the rolling hills of Rwanda and the thatched design of the King’s Palace at Nyanza, Bisate sits woven between the lush growths adjacent to Volcanoes National Park.

Bisate reflects the innate organic culture of Rwanda and reflects sophisticated spaces around every turn. Craftily designed the spherical rooms and public areas add bespoke and sustainable solutions to the intricate and difficult surroundings.
