Abstract
Description
PPL Policy Briefs provide concise summaries of policy-relevant academic research for policy makers and the public. This brief explores how too many Philadelphia residents live in the "struggle space," where daily struggles to survive resulting from histories of disinvestment and discrimination can create challenges for long-term climate planning. Effective and socially-just climate planning can improve public health and make neighborhoods more resilient while uplifting communities without displacing residents, but must be approached with intentionality and awareness.
