Jacksonville became the first city in Florida to adopt a comprehensive planning and zoning ordinance. Created by George W. Simons, Jr., this segregationist-driven plan used Euclidean (or Exclusionary Zoning) practices to force undesirable industrial uses into the city’s Black neighborhoods, in order to foster a better quality of life within other neighborhoods where Black citizens were legally prohibited to live.
A few years later, the National Housing Act of 1934 led to the creation of residential security maps that ranked neighborhoods by the estimated riskiness of mortgage loans. Known as redlining, this discriminatory practice resulted in Black communities being fenced off as areas where banks would avoid investments based on community demographics.
