SA+P graduate students tackle Equitable Resilience

In early fall 2021, graduate students from the School of Architecture and Planning, supported through the LCAU’s Summer Fellowship Program shared their research which explored Equitable Resilience as it relates to the Covid-19 pandemic. The cohort of graduate students shared research on a variety of topics from an examination of the pandemic’s impact on tenant protections and housing stability in the US, to privacy concerns around civic mapping in South Korea.
