“…For example, Whites are overrepresented in city planning professions (e.g.,Vazquez, 2002) as well as among faculty and students in urban planning graduate programs(Sweet & Etienne, 2011).9 As in Study 2a, the house evaluation measure indexes factors potential homebuyers usually consider when initially evaluating a home. A principal components factor analysis without rotation confirmed that all five items in this updated measure loaded onto a single factor (loadings in parentheses): house liking (.87), others' interest (.77), change needed (.63), poor investment (.75), and make offer (.82).…”

Social psychologists have long demonstrated that people are stereotyped on the basis of race. Researchers have conducted extensive experimental studies on the negative stereotypes associated with Black Americans in particular. Across 4 studies, we demonstrate that the physical spaces associated with Black Americans are also subject to negative racial stereotypes. Such spaces, for example, are perceived as impoverished, crime-ridden, and dirty (Study 1). Moreover, these space-focused stereotypes can powerfully influence how connected people feel to a space (Studies 2a, 2b, and 3), how they evaluate that space (Studies 2a and 2b), and how they protect that space from harm (Study 3). Indeed, processes related to space-focused stereotypes may contribute to social problems across a range of domains-from racial disparities in wealth to the overexposure of Blacks to environmental pollution. Together, the present studies broaden the scope of traditional stereotyping research and highlight promising new directions. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…How can planners develop cultural competency to integrate "difference" into planning practices and participatory actions in a comprehensive way? (Agyeman & Erickson, 2012;Sweet & Etienne, 2011;Vazquez, 2009). This article examines a health action research project implemented in the Swale District (Sittingbourne, Kent, UK) in 2009 -11.…”

This article examines contributions and challenges of learning alliance methodology to multicultural planning in health provision services in an urban context. A learning alliance was implemented to target health needs of different ethno-racial groups through an action research project in Swale, Kent, UK. We argue that a learning alliance is an innovative methodology that can contribute to multicultural planning by (1) promoting the involvement of new planning stakeholders and the institutionalization of learning alliance outcomes, (2) ensuring capacitybuilding strategies, (3) emphasizing documentation and dissemination as innovative practices, and (4) strengthening the network capacity of a community. Critical reflections are presented here as a constructive view to improve both the learning alliance methodology and multicultural planning. The article contributes to debates on public service delivery in the context of discussions about multiculturalism, health and planning.

“…The ACSP's Planners of Color Interest Group, founded by faculty of color, has formalized its role within ACSP. Furthermore, research and discussions about moving the field forward have focused on the underrepresentation of students and faculty of color (Forsyth, 1995;Iraz abal et al, 2011;Sweet & Etienne, 2011;Wubneh, 2011), pointing to the need for multicultural curriculum, recruitment, and retention programs for people of color and tenure and promotion support. These efforts are creating new venues that can help planners think critically about how the planning profession and planning organizations reproduce racial disparities.…”

Racial Equity in Planning Organizations

In this Viewpoint, I urge public planners to examine how planning departments' internal rules and norms reproduce racial inequity. I first explain how public planning departments' inner workings are racialized and then offer racial equity in planning organizations (REPO) as a framework and directive to align public planning racial equity goals with internal rules and norms. I argue that organizational change will position planners to advance racial equity in the United States. REPO can lead to local change and recalibrate how planners envision their role in changing their communities.
