Economic development is intended to benefit everyone in a
community, however, in many cases, increased public and private
investment can result in the pricing out and displacement of
existing residents and businesses. How do we achieve more equitable
outcomes? The Equity Planner provides a toolkit of practical
solutions for planners and all those involved in placemaking to
promote thoughtful, inclusive planning. Each chapter of The Equity
Planner examines one particular aspect of inequity in the urban
planning sphere, covering issues such as identity retention,
affordability, and the protection and enhancement of local assets.
While each chapter offers practicable solutions to these issues,
the 'Notes from the Field' sections describe how these same tools
have been used (either successfully or unsuccessfully) in projects
the author has been involved in, with a particular focus on the
local resistance each project encountered. These real-world case
studies are used to suggest methods to overcome such resistance,
which the reader can then apply to their present initiatives. This
book is written for urban planners, local activists, social
scientists, policy makers, and anyone with an interest in equity
planning. This book will be of use to both practicing and training
urban planners and architects who seek to add equity planning to
their professional repertoire.
