We (the Researching Urban Renewal team) are considering putting together a 12-15 person conference and edited volume on this issue.
Who else on here is studying eminent domain, involuntary relocation, and its economic, legal, political, social, and health effects? Looking to engage with historians and other researchers (academic and non-) whose work focuses on lost places and displaced communities.

A new year brings a ripe new crop of wonderful looking books that are desperate to be reviewed for @urbanhistory.bsky.social. I've made a thread of what looks good. Get in touch if you want a free copy of these (in exchange for a review!). First up, Modernism's Magic Hat by Ijlal Muzaffar.
