Voices of Equity
Evolution of planning for equity

"Equity should be a central value and central guidance for the practice of planners," said Victor Rubin in the latest Voices of Equity series. In the video, Rubin discusses the importance of understanding institutional and structural racism and how those forces have created the conditions under which planning is practiced.
