Abstract
This research investigates planning theory and education from a critical race and radical planning perspective. While planning theory includes strands that explore the social determinants of health, regime power, and equity planning, it will often miss how these operate as interconnected economic, political, and ideological forces that maintain mass imprisonment, poverty, and neoliberalism as the dominant development paradigm. This study explores the relationship between racial capitalism, regime power, and collaborative rationality and the impact of capitalist institutions and planning on neighborhood development. It concludes with suggestions for the social learning that must occur in order to reorient students and professional planners, as well as the field, to social transformation.
