Why it Matters?
The way we build housing and homes has been hurting the planet for generations. We have paved over ecosystems, ruined watersheds and put ourselves at risk for natural disaster. Our impact has tipped the scales of climate change and we are seeing the effects. To solve these issues, we must look at how we develop and build on land.
Simultaneously, our cities and towns have been built on institutional discrimination and racism. Not only have we forced people directly out of their homes, but we have moved them through other means as well. Black and brown neighborhoods with lower incomes have been burdened by pollution, underinvested in, and dissected by highways.
As we look to the future of our communities we must address this systemic discrimination and inequality to provide safe and affordable housing for all while impacting our planet the least.
