Webinar Wednesday: Advancing Racial Equity through Land Use Planning
September 7 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Advancing Racial Equity through Land Use Planning
According to US Census Data, disparity in income and housing among diverse racial and ethnic populations has occurred in the United States. Researchers have pointed out that many members of these specific populations have been adversely impacted by housing policies adopted in the first half of the 20th century. To address present day challenges, this webinar will present examples of two cities addressing racial inequity through their land use planning tools & codes. The City of Minneapolis, Minnesota recently completed Minneapolis 2040 which reflects the result of more than two years of engagement with the people of Minneapolis. This engagement included over 100 meetings and conversations with thousands of residents, business owners, and others, where they shared their vision and hopes for the future of the city.
Equity CM credit is pending approval.
Speaker: Joe Bernard, AICP and Douglass Smith, AICP, LEED
