Land Use and Racial Justice is a one-credit course which will meet over the weekend of July 30-Aug 1. This course views the legal framework for understanding planning and zoning from the perspective of race. We explore issues that shape how land is developed and how communities are built. The course will examine the historical use of land use laws to establish and enforce racial segregation and the distribution of social, economic and environmental power. We will examine the impacts of land use authority on segregation, disparities in home ownership and wealth, and the problems of whiteness and privilege in identifying racism in public policy.
