This project examines how systems like redlining and gerrymandering have shaped inequality in Houston, creating lasting barriers to housing, resources, and political representation.


By visualizing these constructed boundaries, the work reveals how design and policy intersect to influence access to education, healthcare, and opportunity. It invites viewers to critically engage with these histories and recognize their continued impact today. Ultimately, the project encourages collective responsibility, and urges support for fair housing, equitable districting, and reinvestment in historically marginalized communities.
