This episode takes a fresh look at the world of architecture, a field where racial disparities have been etched into the very structures that shape our lives. We explore how reparations could potentially address these disparities, from diversifying architectural education to promoting the work of architects from marginalized communities. We'll hear from architects, urban planners, and those directly affected by these disparities, discussing the practical and emotional implications of implementing reparations in the architectural realm.
