People + Places: Revisiting Resilient Bunker Hill: People, Housing, and the Legacy of Displacement
October 10, 2024 |
What lessons can we draw from Bunker Hill's past? How does this relate to our current housing affordability crisis? How can we prevent displacement in similar scenarios that occur citywide?
Join us to explore the complex story of Los Angeles' Bunker Hill. While many know of its transformation from a Victorian-era neighborhood to a major urban renewal site in the late 1950s, the full story of the neighborhood is often overlooked. At its peak, Bunker Hill was home to more than 8,000 residents. Their displacement offers valuable lessons for today's discussions about urban change, density, and redevelopment.
The innovative Bunker Hill Refrain project brings new insights to this history. We'll examine what we can learn from Bunker Hill's transformation and what we're still discovering sixty years later. Then and now, L.A.'s development has been shaped by housing policies at the national, state, and local levels.
