Neighborhoods represent sacred spaces with profound meaning and history for residents. Community involvement becomes crucial when faced with impending changes to ensure the preservation of familiar landmarks and connective ties.
The emergence of community studio incubators like the one in Inglewood, established by ZEAL, signifies important efforts to empower Black creatives and businesses amid the looming risks of displacement. These initiatives aim to foster a culture of solidarity and repair within threatened communities.
Development projects such as the Metro light rail line, SoFi stadium, and proposed transit connector in Inglewood are driving forces behind resident and local business displacement. Such initiatives highlight the need for proactive community engagement and resistance against disruptive urban planning practices.
