The way you experience the city, the urban infrastructure provided in the areas you frequent, and even the job opportunities that come your way are all, to some extent, shaped by the color of your skin. These themes unfold across multiple layers to discuss racial segregation in the urban environment in the seminar "The City and Racial Subjection," organized in 2018 by the Laboratory of Race and Urban Space Studies (Labraça) at FAUUSP.
The event featured two panel discussions: "Legibility, Invisibility, and Erasure" and "Housing and Race," both of which are available on FAUUSP's YouTube channel. We are hosting both here on ArchDaily to expand the reach of these fundamental questions, which help us understand how race intersects with the built environment.
