直到最近，环境历史学家还倾向于忽视不平等是如何在大都市景观中产生和加强的。将城市环境正义历史化的方法之一是通过空间和时间来分析财产的变化。本文探讨了二十世纪初西雅图的工程师和改革者如何启动了几个土方工程，称为改造，以翻新市中心的核心。土地的重新平整带走了数百万吨的泥土，夷平了山丘，抹去了滩涂，但它们也引发了山体滑坡，撕裂了穷人和少数民族居民居住的社区。因此，环境的不稳定和社会的不平等相互强化，塑造了西雅图的政治和自然地理。通过讲述关于房地产的空间故事，城市环境历史学家可以更好地描绘社会力量与不断变化的景观之间的关系。
Environmental historians have tended, until recently, to overlook how inequality is generated and reinforced in the metropolitan landscape. One way to historicize urban environmental justice is to analyze the transformation of property through space and time. This article explores how engineers and reformers in early twentieth-century Seattle launched several earthmoving projects, called regrades, to renovate the downtown core. The regrades removed millions of tons of earth, flattened hills, and erased tidelands, but they also unleashed landslides and ripped apart neighborhoods populated by poor and minority residents. Environmental volatility and social inequality thus reinforced one another to shape Seattle’s political and physical geography. By telling spatial stories about property, urban environmental historians can better map social power against shifting landscapes.
