Series: Policy Focus Reports

This report 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. The report proposes a framework to guide equitable climate urbanism, emphasizing cross-sector collaboration, resilient housing, place-based adaptation, and inclusive community engagement. It offers actionable insights to help cities move from fragmented efforts toward long-term, justice-centered urban transformation.
