in planning and investment decisions on issues like affordable housing, economic development and transportation. When and how did the greater focus on equity come about?Our unified planning framework has a focus on housing, greenhouse gas emissions and optimizing transit. The fourth prong is equity, specifically. We looked at all 1,222 census tracts in the region to find concentrations of low-income communities and/or concentrations of communities of color.
… These census tracts occupy just 10 percent of the region’s land mass — they’re a little bit more dense than the average census tract — but contain 30 percent of the region’s population. About 1.5 million people are in these census tracts. They’re like an acupuncture chart on equity. We need to focus on these areas and connect them.You’ve said before that to address equity, you also need to make it easier for people to reach transit stations.
