This one-of-a-kind contribution to the real estate and urban economics literature applies the author’s original geographic information systems analyses to historical maps to reveal redlining’s causal role in shaping today’s cities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning the era from the Great Migration to the Great Recession, \u003ci\u003eKeeping Races in Their Places\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers the roots of the Black-white wealth gap, the subprime lending crisis, and today’s lack of affordable housing in maps created by banks nearly a century ago.
