The legislation and principles that guide our pursuit of equity in planning were born from witnessing the consequences of a world without it. To truly embrace and advocate for the principles of equity, we must understand the sins of our past and the imperative not to repeat them.
This presentation dives into our nation's past to examine long-lasting effects of inequitable and discriminatory decisions in housing and transportation planning that we are now working to correct. Learn from past examples of both poor and successful planning decisions, receive a high-level overview of federal laws surrounding equity, and leave with a checklist of public involvement techniques to make your public engagement activities more inclusive.
