Free Virtual Symposium: In Pursuit of Equitable Development: Lessons from Washington, Detroit, and Boston, Friday, September 25, 12:30-4:30
Event Description
The GSD is pleased to present a series of talks and webinars broadcast to audiences via Zoom.
*This lecture will be ONLINE ONLY. For security reasons, virtual attendees must register.
Event Description
Equitable development, a relatively new concept in planning and community development, aims to help low-income neighborhoods and communities of color become places that provide economic opportunities, affordable living, and cultural expression for all residents. It is built on the principle that current residents will play a central role in shaping the projects, programs, and policies that affect them and their community.
However lofty its goals, achieving equitable development is complicated and challenging, particularly in this time of social and economic turmoil. In this half-day virtual symposium, leading practitioners and scholars from three cities, Washington, DC, Detroit, and Boston, will explore efforts to bring equitable development to their communities and outline how they are responding to current challenges. The presentations and discussions will help students, scholars, community leaders, public officials, and others identify innovative strategies and successful approaches to advancing social justice in low-income neighborhoods and communities of color.
