From Revanchism to Inclusion: Institutional Forms of Planning and Police in Hyde Park, Chicago

Planning and policing are two critical racial projects in the racial state. Planning scholars' understanding of the police usually focus on the police violently removing people from urban space, yet critical criminology literature shows their function to be more diverse. I employ an exploratory case study, centered in the South Side of Chicago, to develop propositions to guide emergent research that centralizes the police within planning. The propositions (1) impel further investigation into how police not only exclude people but also define who belongs and (2) draw attention to how planning institutions can create new forms of police.
