Climate Gentrification Walking Tour
- Ponce City Market, Atlanta, Georgia
The climate gentrification walk is a three-part training consisting of a 30-minute presentation, a 45-minute walk through Ponce City Market and Old Fourth Ward, and a 30-minute house meeting. During the presentation, we discuss what climate gentrification is, who it impacts, and the three pathways to climate gentrification. The walk covers the history of Old Fourth Ward, including discussions about the vibrant community that called the area home and what structural and political influences pushed them out as Ponce City Market developed. We also discuss the history of the Ponce City Market building, and the rapid overdevelopment currently impacting the area. Following the walk, we return to the Lola for a deeper discussion and debrief about all we covered during the tour and connect through lines of gentrification, displacement, redlining, and the racial wealth gap with the devastating impacts on the landscape. By the end of the walk, we hope participants connect their experiences with climate gentrification and its impacts in Atlanta to their own hometowns or spaces where they move work.
