Building Equitable & Sustainable Cities
Description
Dr. Davis Chacón, an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Human Rights Institute at the University of Connecticut and Mr. Enrique Bojorquez, a Planner III with the City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department, both discuss the societal dilemmas and implications surrounding the work of building equitable and sustainable cities. Pulling from their professional and academic backgrounds, our guests touch on the importance of this work especially as we consider energy needs, pollution, and population fluctuations as we look towards the future. Dr. Chacón and Mr. Bojorquez also provide suggestions as to what educators, policymakers, and community members can do to get involved in this movement to ultimately create more humanistic spaces across the globe.
