INCLUSION, EQUITY and ACCESSIBILITY

ENSURING THE 15-MINUTE CITY SERVES ALL 

“Unaffordability and inequity have long been a problem in the superstar cities – New York, San Francisco, Boston, (Washington) D.C. 

If you look at the prices of homes – up double digits -- that new urban crisis is moving to Miami, Dallas to Nashville to the second and third tier cities,” 

said Florida, University Professor at the University of Toronto’s School of Cities and Rotman School of Management, Co-founder of CityLab, and Founder of the Creative Class Group. 

Florida fears the pandemic will increase the divide, if government doesn’t take action. 

He said the pandemic already has accelerated inequity – even in terms of crucial healthcare, where black and Latino Americans have higher COVID rates and less access to testing or vaccines.
