This from Tina Yuen at ChangeLab Solutions:

The neighborhoods where we live and work shape our health, resources, and opportunities, but they are not designed to treat every person equitably. We can change these place-based patterns of discrimination by transforming planning practices to be truly inclusive.

ChangeLab Solutions has created The Planner’s Playbook: A Community-Centered Approach to Improving Health & Equity to help decisionmakers center equity in each phase of the planning process. The playbook provides background, resources, community examples, and practical steps for planners who want to create communities where every person can thrive and prosper.
