Thirteenth International Conference on The Inclusive Museum

Abstract

This study sheds light on racial segregation, which impacted zoning regulations and site planning all through the United States. By the late 1960’s, racial strains, revolting and the Fair Housing Act prompted the development of design which helped the growth of architecture to group communities through planning. This thesis examines how the engineering of segregation came to be. The United States thinks about segregation through political and social organizations, however far less about all the complexities. Even though isolated schools, separate rooms at transport stations, and separate drinking fountains in public spaces are probably the most natural pictures of the Jim Crow time, little consideration has been paid to how racial segregation has helped to create a unique style of planning that catered to segregating neighborhoods.
