  • This paper illustrates a design activism project that led to a co-designed ‘anti-displacement map’ and ‘walking tour’ in Chicago’s Chinatown. The work argues that one way to deploy urban design projects that consider the fears of displacement in gentrifying neighbourhoods is to integrate what aspects of the neighbourhood existing community actors value and promote advocacy for a future that these participants envision. The project accomplished these goals through ‘communication asset mapping’, an application centring on communicative spaces that are of value to existing communities and help to create the capacity for positive social change in the built environment.
