AIAFW | CDFW Urban Design Talk: Design Justice with Brent A Brown, AIA

Our built environment contributes to the quality of our health, happiness, and financial situation. Every day countless decisions are made impacting our physical world where we live, work, and play. Places are designed intentionally and accidently. What we know is not all places are designed equitably.

Prioritizing the public’s interest, how can design advance justice?
