  • Planners As Supporters and Enablers of Diasporic Placemaking
    PLANNERS AS SUPPORTERS AND ENABLERS OF DIASPORIC PLACEMAKING: LESSONS FROM CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Courtney Elizabeth Knapp August 2014 Copyright ©2014 Courtney Elizabeth Knapp ABSTRACT Planners as Supporters and Enablers of Diasporic Placemaking: Lessons from Chattanooga, Tennessee Courtney Elizabeth Knapp, Ph.D. Cornell University 2014 Professional urban planners have long struggled with questions about how to better support the planning and development of socially equitable and racially just communities. This dissertation project expands this conversation by exploring three centuries of ‘diasporic placemaking’ in the southeastern U.S. city of Chattanooga, Tennessee. I define ‘diasporic placemaking’ as creative, everyday practices through which historically uprooted and migratory populations create communities of material security and cultural belonging from shared social and physical environments. From there, I ask how planners might come to better support and enable multiracial diasporic placemaking in Chattanooga and other complex, racially and culturally diverse cities. The project builds upon literature in citizen participation, planning education, placemaking, theories of diaspora, cultural studies, and participatory action research. Methodologically, it combined ethnographic techniques (narrative interviews, participant observation, and archival analysis) with an action research partnership between the author, Chattanooga Organized for Action and the Chattanooga Public Library. Together, we launched two experimental initiatives: the Sustaining People and Reclaiming Communities (SPARC) Initiative and the Planning Free School of Chattanooga. Both were designed to be alternatives to mainstream planning initiatives underway in Chattanooga and to be created with and for the benefit of low income residents, especially communities of color.
