“Planners can continue to make a positive impact on bricks and

mortar design issues, but we must also become well-versed in

matters of race and culture so that our plans and

implementation programs can ensure equity…And maybe one

day, we’ll stop referring to struggling areas as those

communities but instead…our communities.” – APA-NJ
