  • (Re)Visioning Winnipeg's Chinatown
    (RE)VISIONING WINNIPEG’S CHINATOWN A critical analysis of settler-colonial revitalization by ANGIE MOJICA Department of City Planning Faculty of Architecture University of Manitoba i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY After decades of disinvestment, Winnipeg’s Northwest Exchange District and Chinatown are the focus of recent revitalization initiatives led by non-governmental planning organizations. The intent of this Capstone project is not to provide an in-depth analysis, nor critique of the recent Development Strategy. By comparing organizational mandates, jurisdictional boundaries, and stakeholder perspectives, I argue the voices and interests of those experiencing homelessness, Indigenous People, and other non-Chinese BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) are marginalized and missing from the planning process, placing them at risk of displacement. Participants consisted of representatives from community organizations (COs), non-governmental planning organizations (NGPOs), and housing- and homelessness-focused non-profit organizations (HNPOs). Data from emotional mapping and semi-structured interviews was analyzed through a perspective informed by gentrification literature and settler-colonial literature. All participants saw a need for reinvestment in Chinatown and the Northwest Exchange. However, most participants, especially COs and HNPOs, expressed concerns about changes that would displace their community, residents, and/or client base. Social issues, such as homelessness and poverty, are only worsening and similar urban renewal initiatives in the past have done little to improve circumstances for the city-centre’s inhabitants. There was a desire for Chinatown to be an inclusive and multi-cultural space; but some participants discussed conflicts around how physical representations can exclude those who do not identify with its branding. Lastly, the current and historic Indigenous inhabitants of the area and Indigenous-led grassroots movements are concealed and erased by a lack of representation in the Development Strategy’s key policies.
