In his talk, Julian Agyeman, Ph.D., professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University, will outline the concept of just sustainabilities as a response to the "equity deficit" of much sustainability thinking and practice. He will explore his contention that who can belong in our cities will ultimately determine what our cities can become. He will illustrate his ideas with examples from urban planning and design, food justice and the "Minneapolis Paradox."

This webcast features planning stories where cities have worked to make their backend (permitting, plan review) and frontend (comprehensive plans, maps) more accessible, engaging, and transparent through digitalization.
