Violence permeates, transforms, and hinders space. Specifically, identity-based mass violence can profoundly alter space, communities, and the relationships between inhabitants and their physical environment. This chapter delves into the impacts of inconspicuous identity-based mass violence in urban areas and examines official and unofficial potential planning responses. This chapter explores the impacts of identity-based mass violence in urban areas, alongside potential planning responses, both official and unofficial. It seeks to understand how this form of violence influences space and how urban planning can, at times, act as an oppressive force, perpetuating subtle yet insidious manifestations of identity-based violence. By emphasizing participatory visual methodologies such as community mapping and autophotography—or photography by participants—the chapter highlights approaches to bridge the gap between official planning institutions and communities, fostering planning practices that are inclusive of local identities.
