The Impact of Neighborhood Design

The design of neighborhoods significantly influences the lives of residents, reflecting societal values and priorities. The urban landscape reveals who is prioritized and who is marginalized, indicating where investment flows and which areas are deemed expendable. Understanding this dynamic is critical for fostering equitable communities, as neighborhoods are not merely physical spaces but representations of collective values and social justice. The examination of race and place invites a deeper conversation about inclusivity and the communal shaping of environments.
