Why does a prosperous, liberal and design-rich city like Minneapolis have some of the biggest racial differences in the country? How can designers help create a more just community? All of these questions are in the Introduction to Equity Design application.
An overview of introductory applications in equity design
San Francisco, Portland, Austin, Madison, and Minneapolis are considered some of the best-designed and most politically liberal cities. Mention of each brings to mind public parks, bike examples, eclectic music scenes, colleges, creatives, and craft beer. Each has focused public funds on livability investments such as transit, public spaces, arts, and entertainment. Each has said that equity - fair and just access to opportunities and resources for all of its citizens - is a central concern of its place and policy-making. But as David Dahmer asks in his article titled "The Harsh Truth about Progressive Cities," (Dahmer, 2015) why are these cities some of the most unjust in the U.S.?
My own hometowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul has, in the last ten years, topped the charts for livable neighborhoods and beautiful parks. A 2015 article in The Atlantic, titled "The Miracle of Minneapolis," said that "No other place mixes affordability, opportunity, and wealth so well" (Thompson, 2015). But what the article did not point out — although many readers immediately did — is that, livability awards aside, and official reviews about the importance of equity aside, the Twin Cities are still one of the worst places in the country to be Black or Native American That's right, one of the worst. And this is on important measures such as education, health, and jobs.
This comes as a big surprise to many white Minnesotans. We are used to looking at statistics in aggregate, not separated by race or ethnicity. In aggregate, we look pretty good. So we pat ourselves on the back and assume that those aggregated statistics hold for all Minnesotans. We assume we are good people with good leaders. We assume "those problems" don't plague Northern cities. Cities where NPR is well funded and politicians, at least until you hit the suburbs, are mainly left of the center.
