Editorial Reviews

 “This is a direct and accessible guide for present and future planners and policymakers who are deeply concerned about social equity. It is an ethical compass for those who face the complexities and dilemmas that arise when working within and confronting a system defined by deep racial and class divides.”

(Tom Angotti Professor of Urban Affairs & Planning at Hunter College/CUNY 20120528)

“A clarion call to the planning profession to place social justice and equity at the center of our work.  Rife with concrete recommendations regarding governance, public participation, technology and the promise represented by the nation’s demographic shifts – all within the context of a changing global context.”

(Chester Hartman Director of Research, Poverty & Race Research Action Council 20120528)

“Brenman and Sanchez present equity as both a critical social need and a complex intellectual puzzle when applied to policy.   Their book is a clear treatment of equity in emerging policy settings like the internet, land use, gender and age politics and more.”

(Martin Wachs RAND Corporation, and former Director of the Institute of Transportation Studies )

“An incisive analysis of the most urgent issue facing America: how to build a nation in which all people can participate and prosper. This book is both a call to action and a practical guide for infusing equity principles into planning and governance.”

(Angela Glover Blackwell Founder and CEO, PolicyLink, and co-author of Uncommon Common Ground )
