Opportunity and Risk in State and Regional Climate-Planning Efforts--Some Lessons from the Field
The growing awareness of the harmful effects of greenhouse gas emissions
has forced state and local governments to adopt new strategies for
changes in land-use and transportation planning. The risk in these
changes is that reducing developable land area can also lead to
increased housing prices, gentrification, and the displacement of
lower-income and minority households. However, with these changes come
opportunities for advocates to instill awareness of the potential
effects of climate action on lower-income communities, to gain support
for affordable housing, and to combat segregation and exclusionary
zoning.
