Undoing the legacy of racial disparity in community development requires extensive policy and practice changes. Since this work can’t be done by one individual or actor alone, collaborative partnerships lead to informed and effective change. In this webinar, we learn about how local partnerships have brought equity to the forefront of Chicago’s transit-oriented development (ETOD) and resource allocation by utilizing the country’s first Racial Equity Impact Assessment (REIA). The work and results highlight the  importance of partnership in ensuring that Chicago’s future is one of pride, power, and belonging for all neighborhoods and all citizens.

Speakers: Kendra Freeman, Metropolitan Planning Council and Steering Committee Co-chair of Elevated Chicago, Juan Sebastian Arias, Chicago Mayor’s Office, Chandra Rouse, Enterprise Community Partners
