“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
