Opis

The Equity Planner provides a toolkit of practical solutions for planners and all those involved in placemaking to promote thoughtful, inclusive planning.

Recenzje

“The Equity Planner is based on the concept that economic development and neighborhood investment are not synonymous with gentrification, or at least the negative ramifications that can result from it. This is an important distinction to be made. I highly recommend this book.”

Robert Piatkowski, AICP, Senior Urban Designer, WSP, Jersey City

“The Equity Planner focuses on an issue that is overlooked in mainstream planning but isn’t limited to a single aspect of equity, such as affordable housing. This book provides a more comprehensive approach that touches on culture, identity, and small business development.”

Ryan M. Darmanie, M.C.R.P., Urban Planning & Design Consultant, East Port of Spain
