“City Rewritten: The Oak Street Connector and Urban Renewal in New Haven” explores the effects of the formative era of urban renewal on New Haven’s urban landscape and social history. Urban renewal was a progressive vision aimed at revitalizing a city’s economy, beautifying the urban landscape, removing residents from substandard living conditions, and promoting racial integration. However, historians and urban planners have largely viewed the policy as a failure, one that disproportionately displaced impoverished Black people and reinforced patterns of segregation.

The Office of Diversity, Inclusion, Community Engagement, and Equity (DICE) and the Office of Medical Education are hosting a panel discussion with community leaders about Greater New Haven, its history, and how issues such as housing, education, safety, job opportunities, and the environment impact the health and well-being of its residents.
