The Impact of Neighborhood Design

The design of cities and neighborhoods significantly impacts the lives of their residents, reflecting the values and priorities of the community. This can lead to questions about who gets to shape these environments and whose voices are prioritized or marginalized in the process. A just city is challenging to define as it requires a deeper understanding of how urban landscapes tell intricate stories about social equity and investment.
