What Is Urban Planning?

Corrected by Emir Baycan · on When Notes Fly · 28 July 2026 · View published page ↗

Urban planning shapes how cities grow, who benefits from that growth, and who gets displaced.

Missing context

What was corrected

What the page claimed

The article said Mast proves new market-rate apartments reduce nearby rents, that predictive policing uniformly amplifies bias, that single-family zoning was the single substitute for racial exclusion, and that restrictive zoning determines segregation across metros.

What was corrected

Qualified the Mast and predictive-policing claims to what the evidence supports, and left the accurate zoning-and-segregation history intact.

Why this is better

The Mast and predictive-policing claims were stated more definitively than the evidence supports; the segregation history was accurate. Corrections scope the two overstated claims rather than adding new sources.
