What's Happening
Trenton's Urban Renewal and the Struggle for Community
On June 24th, 2021, Jordan Antebi presented to the Trenton Planning Board stories from his award-winning thesis on civic actors in Trenton, NJ who opposed Urban Renewal. Jordan’s research chronicles a turbulent time locally and nationally during the 1950s and 60s. Using “documented experiences of ordinary residents and business owners,” this talk highlighted the interconnectedness of a so-called “divided” community and its protests of social engineering.
The presentation can be viewed here. Please report any issues viewing the presentation to Michael Kolber at mkolber@trentonnj.org.
