Infrastructure and Equity
Season 4, Episode 1
Introducing Season 4 of the CitySCOPE!
In Season 4 of the CitySCOPE podcast we focus on infrastructure and equity at at time when the Federal government is poised to make historic investments in infrastructure both to shore up the existing built environment and to prepare for climate change. We feature conversations with academics, urban planners, developers and community leaders weighing in on different mechanisms to drive more equitable development through infrastructure development. The season is organized around questions such as: How have communities organized to ensure that the community benefits from new development, who speaks for the community in urban governance networks, how can neighborhoods be revitalized without inducing the harms of gentrification and how does childcare fit into the infrastructure conversation? Topics include: community benefits agreements, transportation-oriented development, neighborhood trusts, urban governance networks, developer-led community benefits, and the role of childcare in our national infrastructure.
