Join the Center for the Living City for a conversation with journalist Jacob Steimer. When considering questions of zoning and urban design, Americans frequently fail to have an equity mindset. Jacob Steimer, who covers low-income housing for MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, has spent years writing about real estate, housing conditions, and zoning fights in Memphis, Tennessee. He’ll speak about how urban planners, architects, journalists and other citizens can work toward housing that centers low-income Americans.
