This Zoom workshop will explore the relationship between land use planning and racial inequity in the United States, with an examination of how government actions in housing have made those inequities worse.
Not only have these policies negatively impacted a large percentage of our population, but racial inequity is also a drag on the economy. A study done by Citigroup shows that racial bias cost the US economy $16 trillion from 2000 until 2020.
All AICP members will be required to earn equity credits in the 22-23 reporting period.
