ALBINA’S ERASURE

This project aims to visualize gentrification in Portland’s historically Black neighborhood, Albina. Urban renewal and blight removal projects have driven development across the neighborhood ultimately displacing Albina’s Black residents and business owners. The rapid gentrification of Albina threatens complete historical and cultural erasure in the built environment and with it, the loss of rich informal third places.
