| | | NPSG12-100 | | Advancing Equity through Planning: Challenges & Opportunities Across the country, communities and regions are finding that inclusive, equitable planning processes empower them to address the economic, environmental, health, and other challenges they face. However, integrating social equity, affordability, economic and workforce development, and environmental justice into local and regional planning is not always straightforward. This half-day session draws on the experiences of HUD’s Sustainable Communities Regional Planning and Community Challenge grantees to shed light on the barriers and opportunities related to fair and equitable planning. Structured as a working session, the half-day event highlights and builds on the ongoing efforts of 2010 and 2011 grantee teams. Participants – practitioners from the equitable development, environmental justice, smart growth, and planning fields – take part in dialogues with the grantees about how to apply lessons learned more broadly. The event concludes with reflections by federal and philanthropic leaders on how local, regional, state, tribal, federal, and foundation stakeholders can work together to advance inclusive planning and growth. | | MP3 | | $35.00 | | $35.00 | |
