Event Start Date: Wednesday, April 16, 2025 - 11:00 am

Location: Hybrid - Architecture Building, Room ARCH 1103 or Zoom
Description:
Disciplines like architecture, historic preservation, and urban planning have historically contributed to systemic harms, including displacement, segregation, and environmental damage, disproportionately affecting low-income communities and communities of color. From racist regulations to urban renewal and freeway construction, these practices have inflicted “slow violence” on individuals, communities, and ecosystems. Today, many professionals are shifting toward a community-oriented, ecological, and healing-centered ethos. How are these disciplines transforming past practices to embrace healing and sustainability? How can planning and design replace slow violence with meaningful and lasting restoration?
