Section Title:
Planning for Envt'l Justice
Section Info:
Planning for Environmental Justice Course Description: American cities are characterized by deep and persistent environmental inequalities. Low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately exposed to environmental harms and have reduced access to environmental amenities, disparities that climate change threatens to deepen. In this course, we will examine the social, political, and economic processes that have produced these disparities. We will pay particular attention to the ways in which urban planning has historically contributed to the making of unequal urban landscapes, as well as the tools and frameworks that planners can draw on today to bring about more environmentally just futures. This course is designed to both develop analytical skills and actively engage students in critical thinking, discussion, and reflection.
