Stop 7: Urban Renewal Takes Aim at the Westside

Listening to Auraria's Past by Cameron Blevins, Michelle Comstock, Rachel Gross, Krista Marks, and Indira Saha

Episode notes

The parking lot alongside 9th Street Plaza was once a dense block of buildings, businesses, and homes. To help listeners understand how all of this ended up paved over into a concrete parking lot, this tour stop draws on a long history of discrimination in city zoning and urban renewal policies and practices.
