Where we live and grow has deep implications on our life trajectories: It determines where we go to school, the healthcare we can access, and the opportunities available to us. This panel discussion will focus on understanding housing in the context of U.S. suburban and urban residential fabrics through its origins and the ways in which structural racism and bias are ingrained in our housing system. Panelists will address some of the physical, social, and economic changes currently taking place that either deepen inequality or — through policy innovation, community action, and organizing — reassert control over the built, social, and natural environments in neighborhoods, providing vehicles to create generational wealth and thriving communities.
