Just Sustainabilities in Urban Planning And Practice<\/p>\n

EcoDistricts is proud to announce\u00a0that\u00a0our next\u00a0<\/span>Webinar Wednesday<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0will be hosted by\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Julian Agyeman of Tufts University,\u00a0a key thought leader of the movement to center\u00a0racial\u00a0equity and justice in the urban planning and design profession.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this\u00a0provocative\u00a0and engaging\u00a0conversation, Julian will\u00a0outline the concept of just sustainabilities as a response to the \u2018equity deficit\u2019 of\u00a0current\u00a0sustainability thinking and practice.\u00a0He\u00a0believes that what our cities can become\u00a0(sustainable, smart, sharing, and resilient)\u00a0and\u00a0who is allowed to belong in them\u00a0(recognition of\u00a0difference, diversity, and a right to the city)\u00a0are\u00a0fundamentally and inextricably interlinked.\u00a0He will\u00a0highlight his scholarship and writing\u00a0with examples from urban planning and design, urban agriculture\u00a0and food justice, and the concept of sharing cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Julian Agyeman is the originator of the increasingly influential concept of just sustainabilities, the intentional\u00a0integration of social justice, and environmental sustainability.\u00a0He believes that what our cities can\u00a0become<\/i>\u00a0(sustainable, smart, sharing, and resilient) and who is allowed to\u00a0belong<\/i>\u00a0in them (recognition of difference, diversity, and a right to the city) are fundamentally and inextricably\u00a0interlinked. We must, therefore, act on both\u00a0belonging<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0becoming<\/i>,\u00a0together, using\u00a0just sustainabilities\u00a0as the\u00a0anchor, or face deepening spatial and social inequities and inequalities.
