A screening of Episode III in the documentary series, the Shame of Chicago - The Color Tax. After the screening there will be a moderated discussion around fair housing, exclusionary housing policies and the impacts on minority communities nationwide. This webcast is hosted by the APA Housing and Community Development Division

The Color Tax tells the story of how a system of predatory home contract sales during the 1950s and 60s plundered enormous sums of wealth from the pockets of black families seeking homeownership. But unlike what happened in other cities, Chicago’s families fought back in one of city’s most heart-wrenching and perilous campaigns for racial and economic justice.

The public hates planners. Or at least that’s the impression one would get by attending a public meeting.

Flexible regulations and a dose of humility could change this unproductive dynamic.

One of the biggest shifts is that the U.S. now is a majority of one to two person households. And yet, the majority of land within regional urban boundaries is zoned for single-family houses. https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3gx5b/the-people-the-suburbs-were-built-for-are-gone

How the suburbs are “retrofitting” obsolete malls, box stores, office parks, parking lots, motels, and more.

1 CM Credit
Wednesday, December 2, 2020, 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. CST

Climate Planners Confront Racial Inequality. Nationwide, the pattern is consistent: Neighborhoods that were once redlined see more extreme heat in the summer than those that weren’t.

Redlining helped reshape the urban landscape of U.S. cities. It also left communities of color far more vulnerable to rising heat.
