Submitted for your approval, Carl Anthony, founder of Breakthrough Communities and the Urban Habitat Program, recently compiled a list of 10 Land Use strategies to promote a just city in an YES! Magazine's Spring 2010 issue America: The Remix.

  1. Develop a widely shared, long-range vision for social justice and set targets.
  2. Find short term soultions for marginalized communities that benefit society as a whole in the long term.
  3. Redevelop older inner-ring suburbs as an alternative to sprawl.
  4. Manage vacant properties (with non-profits.)
  5. Replace aging or underused commercial strips with revitalized corridors.
  6. Set aside 20% of new residential development for affordable housing.
  7. Build and strengthen social justice institutions.
  8. Reduce the patterns of concentrated wealth/poverty in neighborhoods.
  9. Advocate metropolitan growth strategies.
  10. Create opportunities (business etc.) for marginalized popultations.

Carl Anthony succinctly presents a critical set of issues that we look forward to discussing at the conference. We need to inject and embed these values deeply into the HUD-EPA-DOT sustainable communities collaboration. But this will not be easy without concerted effort.
