Racial Equity, Starting With Planning Departments

In a "Viewpoint" article for the Journal for the American Planning Association, Miriam Solis urge public planners, "to examine how planning departments’ internal rules and norms reproduce racial inequity."

From the abstract: "I first explain how public planning departments’ inner workings are racialized and then offer racial equity in planning organizations (REPO) as a framework and directive to align public planning racial equity goals with internal rules and norms. I argue that organizational change will position planners to advance racial equity in the United States."
