The Meaning of Blight: A word that was originally about plant diseases became “infused with racial and ethnic prejudice” when it moved to the city.
New York City urban planner Justin Garrett Moore stated in a 2015 essay, we now need a new word for blight. Wrote Moore: The violence of urban renewal (versions 1.0, 2.0 and now 3.0 beta) used this terminology of disease to describe a place and its people to justify the use of constitutional police power “the betterment of the health, safety, morals” to take property and wealth, remove people, and to literally destroy places.
