What is the relationship between comprehensive plans and fast-food destinations in North Minneapolis?
Across American Cities, there is substantial evidence of Black neighborhoods being disproportionately exposed to fast food outlets. Although there are many explanations for why there is an oversaturation of fast-food restaurants in Black neighborhoods, the relationship between comprehensive plans and fast-food destinations is unclear. This paper will investigate the answer to the question of how did comprehensive plans lead to fast food destinations in North Minneapolis? Developing an analysis of three archival documents comparing them by years and seeing how things change in North Minneapolis through the lens of fast food. Focusing on West Broadway, investigating how the street has changed historically through land use maps. Evaluating the history of urban planning through a food justice lens. As well as ownership of land and space.
