All for the Taking (2005): 21st Century Urban Renewal

Free screening of All for the Taking (2005): 21st Century Urban Renewal, a film on Eminent Domain uses and abuses.

In a controversial, precedent-setting decision in mid-2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution permitted local governments to use their power of eminent domain to forcibly acquire and transfer private property. This film examines the uses and abuses of eminent domain by the City of Philadelphia as it attempts to redefine itself through "urban renewal.”
