We are talking about infrastructure apartheid. Infrastructure can play an important role in social inclusion and economic growth. However, when infrastructure is inadequate, it can lead to social exclusion, poverty, and poor health. The fact that some people in some places have more better, more resilient, more effective infrastructure than others is not an accident. Decisions are being made that keep people from enjoying the quality of infrastructure that would allow them to live healthy, whole lives, while others have an overabundance of high-quality systems and infrastructure. It’s not right.So let’s talk about it on this episode of the Environmental Justice Lab. Resources: How infrastructure has historically promoted inequality - PBS News‘Infrastructure apartheid’: Africatown’s fight against toxins, new toll bridgeGreen Apartheid: Urban green infrastructure remains unequally distributed across income and race geographies in South Africa - Journal of Landscape and Urban PlanningIsrael's Apartheid against Palestinians - Amnesty International    Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon’t forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!
