Planning in a Polycrisis

This Policy Brief outlines strategies for integrating equity into climate and housing planning in five North American cities: Boston, Denver, Portland, Vancouver, and Washington, DC. Drawing on interviews with planners, it addresses how local governments navigate the intersecting crises of climate change, housing affordability, and economic inequality.
