Class Description:
The Twin Cities is a growing region facing numerous challenges. As more people move into our central cities, housing prices rise and wages stay stagnant, communities of color are fighting to advance equitable neighborhood revitalization and to ensure their community benefits from new growth and opportunity. In this capstone, students will be working with community based organizations working across a diverse set of issues, from housing and transportation to jobs and the environment. There will be a total of 3-4 projects, each with 4 students assigned to them. The clients are looking for race conscious solutions, that acknowledge how we got to where we are, not simply where we are today. Using the lens of racial, social and economic equity, students will be working with the clients who are working to transform high-poverty communities into high-opportunity communities. Places that provide all the resources people need to thrive, including employment, job training, good schools,safe streets, parks, healthy food retailers, transportation, and affordable high-quality housing.
