Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to discuss the concept of environmental justice as it relates to the built environment, such as the placement of highways, energy facilities and other infrastructure.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to describe the unintended effects freeway expansion has on urban areas and explore opportunities to remove freeways from neighborhoods and promote transit-oriented development.
