In the early 20th century, millions of Black Americans left Southern states, seeking to escape Jim Crow laws, racial violence, and the lingering legacy of slavery. As Black populations grew in Northern and Western urban centers, Black people were steadily and systematically excluded from institutions of prosperity, place, and community wellbeing. Generations later, structures of power are still largely concentrated outside of Black communities.</p> <p>Amidst this injustice, we also find hope. Design was a tool used to create these disparities; design can, and must, also be the tool we use to dismantle and rectify them. In this report, we highlight the inequities in the designs of our systems, institutions, cities, and neighborhoods that have created injustices that persist today, and explore opportunities for design and designers to lead the charge toward a more equitable and prosperous future.</p></div> </div> </div> </div><div class="slot-wrapper slot12 slot-s slot-html slot-spacing-12" style="--slot-max-width:var(--slot-width--s);--slot-padding:var(--slot-padding--default);--caption-padding:0px;--bg-color:#ffffff"><div class="slot-content "> <div class="slot-content-inner"><div class="slot-content-html"> <div class="methodology-anchor">This report features findings from three recent survey research studies conducted by the Gensler Research Institute: Gensler Residential Experience Survey 2022, Gensler City Pulse Survey 2023, Gensler Climate Action Survey 2023 as well as drawing from additional secondary research. <a href="#methodology" class="gensler-link-default">Learn about our methodology.</a></div></div> </div> </div> </div><div class="slot-wrapper slot13 slot-s slot-html slot-spacing-5" style="--slot-max-width:var(--slot-width--s);--slot-padding:var(--slot-padding--default);--caption-padding:0px;--bg-color:#ffffff"><div class="slot-content "> <div class="slot-content-inner"><div class="slot-content-html"> <p><b>Black people express consistently lower satisfaction with their city experience.</b> <br />The percentage of U.S. respondents per group who agree with the statement “I feel satisfied with my city as a place to live”.<em> Source: Gensler City Pulse Survey 2023</em></p></div> </div> </div> </div><div class="slot-wrapper slot14 slot-pw slot-image-v2" style="--slot-max-width:var(--slot-width--l);--slot-padding:var(--slot-padding--default);--caption-padding:0px;--bg-color:#ffffff"><div class="slot-content slot-image-v2 "> <div class="slot-content-inner"> <figure> <div class="image__wrapper"> <div class="image__container" style="padding-top:42.15%"> <img class="lazyload" data-src="https://static2.gensler.com/uploads/image/92415/240613_DesigningforRacialJustice_Web_1718313944.jpg" data-slideshow="https://static2.gensler.com/uploads/image/92415/240613_DesigningforRacialJustice_Web_1718313944.jpg" data-slideshow-id="" data-caption="" data-caption-active="0" data-credits="" alt="The percentage of U.S. respondents per group who agree with the statement “I feel satisfied with my city as a place to live” Source: Gensler City Pulse Survey 2023"/> </div> </div> <figcaption class="image__caption image__caption--fs-icon"> <span class="slideshow-icon" title="Full screen"> <a class="slideshow icon-expand" data-slideshow="https://static2.gensler.com/uploads/image/92415/240613_DesigningforRacialJustice_Web_1718313944.jpg" data-slideshow-id="" aria-label="Full screen"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="2.05 1.93 18 18" fill="currentColor"><path d="M2.05 8.68H4.3v-4.5h4.5V1.93H2.05v6.75ZM13.3 1.93v2.25h4.5v4.5h2.25V1.93H13.3Zm4.5 15.75h-4.5v2.25h6.75v-6.75H17.8v4.5Zm-13.5-4.5H2.05v6.75H8.8v-2.25H4.3v-4.5Z"/></svg> </a> </span> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div><div class="slot-wrapper slot15 slot-s slot-html slot-spacing-5" style="--slot-max-width:var(--slot-width--s);--slot-padding:var(--slot-padding--default);--caption-padding:0px;--bg-color:#ffffff"><div class="slot-content "> <div class="slot-content-inner"><div class="slot-content-html"> <p class="cps2020-survey-section-headline-01"><b>Spatial inequities are a direct result of historically racist urban policies and practices.</b></p> <p>The intentional entrapment of Black Americans within designated, disinvested, and destabilized neighborhoods has had cascading effects long into the present.

Long-term underinvestment has also left Black neighborhoods more vulnerable to extreme weather and climate change. Design strategies hold the key to mitigating the disproportionate environmental burdens faced by Black communities. Prioritizing access to public transportation and micromobility infrastructure reduces reliance on high-polluting vehicles and promotes greater health equity. Climate adaptation and neighborhood resilience plans can help communities to better withstand future natural disasters. Community-led design processes ensure that local voices shape this development – helping to pinpoint areas of the most need and foster greater inclusivity in design.</p></div> </div> </div> </div><div class="slot-wrapper slot22 slot-s slot-html slot-spacing-4" style="--slot-max-width:var(--slot-width--s);--slot-padding:var(--slot-padding--default);--caption-padding:0px;--bg-color:#ffffff"><div class="slot-content "> <div class="slot-content-inner"><div class="slot-content-html"> <a name="methodology"></a> <hr style="border-top: 1px solid #000;" /></div> </div> </div> </div><div class="slot-wrapper slot23 slot-s slot-html slot-spacing-10" style="--slot-max-width:var(--slot-width--s);--slot-padding:var(--slot-padding--default);--caption-padding:0px;--bg-color:#ffffff"><div class="slot-content "> <div class="slot-content-inner"><div class="slot-content-html"> <p class="cps2020-survey-section-headline-01"><b>Designing for Racial Justice Methodology</b></p> <p>This report features findings from three recent survey research studies conducted by the Gensler Research Institute: <em>Gensler Residential Experience Survey 2022, Gensler City Pulse Survey 2023, Gensler Climate Action Survey 2023.</em> All survey samples contained wide representation across personal characteristics such as age (18+), gender identity, racial and/or ethnic identity, household income level, employment status, education level, and home region. Quotas around these characteristics were carefully monitored and enforced during fielding in collaboration with our research partners. Multiple checks were programmed into the survey to manage response validity, including bot detection, speeder logic, and attention filters. The statistical significance of results between groups was determined using pairwise z-tests at a 99% confidence level.</p></div> </div> </div> </div><div class="slot-wrapper slot24 slot-last slot-pw
