REFLECTION QUESTIONBuildings Learn about the Legacy of RedliningHow does city planning and design relate to equity and climate change?
Liz Costa 4/05/2021 10:30 AMReading through the articles about the history of redlining and gentrification, it's clear to me as stated, that how city planners design and build homes do their work with a specific outcome in mind that is not related to what is best for the people who will occupy homes, nor enable them to have equal access to opportunities and better living options.
