Urban Redevelopment: Brought to you by the Myth of "The Void"

Hope and Jackie discuss "dead zones" which have a lot of names but essentially describe holes in the hegemonic fabric. The myth that "nothing is happening" in these spaces has historically fueled both colonization and urban redevelopment, a pattern that continues today. We reference examples in Tel Aviv and Seattle.

It's an episode made with equal parts philosophy, urban planning, and giggles, with appearances from The Situationists, Superstudio, and us almost crying talking about bulletin boards.
