"Integration is both a means and an end: integrated and inclusive planning practices and policies are the means to truly sustainable communities; communities that are racially and economically integrated are more likely to survive and thrive."
-- "Framing the Connections: Integrating Housing, Transportation and Education in City and Regional Planning" by Deborah McKoy and Jeffrey Vincent in Finding Common Ground: Coordinating Housing and Education Policy to Promote Integration (2011)
This report grew out of a "Research and Policy Roundtable" discussion sponsored by PRRAC in February 2011 that included leadership and staff from several divisions at Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Education, along with representatives from the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice.
