Majora Carter priča o urbanoj obnovi

U emocijama nabijenom govoru Majora Carter, dobitnica MacArthurove nagrade i građanska aktivistica, objašnjava detalje svoje borbe za pravedni okoliš u južnom Bronxu - i pokazuje da kvartovi u kojima žive američke manjine najviše trpe zbog pogrešne urbanističke politike.

Sustainable development often skips over minority neighborhoods, leaving them with more pollution and fewer parks. In one South Bronx community, 40 percent of New York’s commercial waste and over 60,000 diesel truck trips a week created dire health risks, with childhood asthma rates seven times the national average. Yet, grassroots efforts turned a $10,000 grant into a $3 million park, showing that community-led change is possible. True progress demands putting those most affected by environmental injustice at the center of urban planning.
