Consultation has concluded
The Presence of Inequities in Our Urban Fabric
How has urban planning perpetuated inequalities throughout our region? In this final session, you will join alongside students from the metro Atlanta region in discovering the complexities of our planning systems and how it manifests in inequality we see today. You will receive an overview of urban planning history, participate in conversations between subject-matter experts and community leaders, and engage in an interactive mapping activity to further your understanding of urban inequality.
The keynote speaker, Tonika Lewis Johnson, will introduce her Folded Map project, which connected residents from the north and south sides of Chicago through media. The following panel discussion will feature representatives from the Atlanta Regional Commission, which is charged with working with its local partners in bringing forth a resilient and sustainable future for the city.
By the end of this session, you will be able to confidently explain the role of historic and present urban planning decisions in reinforcing inequality; understand the value of equitable investments in infrastructure, transit, and other public services; and have discussions surrounding the importance of urban planning in enabling healthy, vibrant, and inclusive communities everywhere.
