The Faces of Development: Moving from Racial and Class Inequity

Since Urban Renewal in the mid 1900s there have been consistent patterns of unfair redevelopment in our urban communities. By identifying and changing these unfair practices, which disproportionately benefit the developers and those with power on the backs of the poor and often times communities of color, we can plan and carry out more equitable development practices in the present and future.

Speakers: Lea Keal, Marisela Gomez, Lester Spence
