“Skyrise for Harlem”

 June Jordan goal was to “Account the psychological state of living in an area deemed a ghetto”, the Sky Rise would have avoid homelessness and people being evicted from the neighborhood. And even though they are aware of the negative consequences of this project such as economic and environmental factors within poor communities, they consider applying an utopian technological mode. June Jordan’s definition for Skyrise for Harlem is “Not anywhere but up”, where she mentions how the community would be revitalized with the support of schools, playgrounds and shopping areas. At the end, Skyrise for Harlem did not have enough support and infrastructure. Nowadays we live in a “milieu of globalized neoliberal capitalism with its megacities and mega slums” as Jordan reaffirms, where Buckminster Fuller and Jordan have the philosophy of how the economic system works in a community functions, they have the base of how this would look like and makes it easier to convince why it is important to gentrify Harlem as soon as possible.
