In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, one of the axioms of a “just recovery” was to redevelop the city’s historic high ground. While the call to limit the city’s footprint problematized low-lying geographies, the majority of which were Black, it ignored Lakeview, a low-lying, predominantly white neighborhood devastated by Katrina. Despite its vulnerability to flooding, Lakeview has thrived in the years following Katrina. Property values are rising and public and private investments are rolling in. Lakeview’s unquestioned future and its (re)valorization in the wake of the storm speak to how racial regimes of property have informed the reconstruction of the city and to the role that urban planning plays in constructing and valorizing landscapes of whiteness. This paper interrogates the ongoing lives of whiteness, asking how whiteness operates as an invisible substrate within planning and property regimes. Utilizing the concept of sedimentation, it explores how planning takes part in concretizing racial formation processes and suggests that the project of sustaining white geographies lays bare deeper questions about the ways that planning enacts multi-scaled, racialized regimes of property. This article excavates the emergence of Lakeview from the backswamps of a delta city to examine the unquestioned valorizations of whiteness as a landscape.

白度沉淀为风景

在卡特里娜飓风过后,“公正恢复”的公理之一是重新开发这座城市的历史高地。虽然限制城市足迹的呼吁对低洼地区造成了问题,其中大部分是黑人,但它忽略了湖景,这是一个被卡特里娜飓风摧毁的低洼地区,主要是白人社区。尽管湖景容易遭受洪水侵袭,但在卡特里娜飓风之后的几年里,它仍然蓬勃发展。房地产价值正在上涨,公共和私人投资不断涌入。 Lakeview 无可争议的未来及其在风暴过后的(重新)估值说明了种族财产制度如何为城市重建提供信息以及城市规划所发挥的作用在构建和评价白色的景观。这篇论文询问了白人的持续生活,询问白度如何在规划和财产制度中作为一种无形的基础运作。利用沉积的概念,它探讨了规划如何参与具体化种族形成过程,并表明维持白人地理的项目对规划制定多尺度、种族化的财产制度的方式提出了更深层次的问题。本文从三角洲城市的后沼泽中挖掘湖景的出现,以检查白度作为景观的毋庸置疑的价值。种族化的财产制度。本文从三角洲城市的后沼泽中挖掘湖景的出现,以检查白度作为景观的毋庸置疑的价值。种族化的财产制度。本文从三角洲城市的后沼泽中挖掘湖景的出现,以检查白度作为景观的毋庸置疑的价值。
