BIG CONVERSATION #1: RACISM AND BIAS IN PLANNING (INCLUDED W/PACKAGE AT NO COST)

CM | 1.25

Panelists discuss the ways planning has historically supported systemic racism, the role that planning plays in perpetuating inequities, and what planners today should do to begin to address and heal from that history. This conversation will also forward to a future in which planning plays an integral part in eradicating the disease that is racism.

BIG CONVERSATION #2: THINKING OUTSIDE THE TOOLBOX TO HOUSE CALIFORNIA

CM | 1.0

It is time to think outside of our current planning toolbox. Does taking planning processes out of the housing equation increase the California housing supply? In this conversation panelists discuss how planners can advocate and develop effective tools to equitably address the California housing crisis in a way that strengthens our communities.
