Social outcomes play second fiddle in #ESG strategies, yet ‘communities’ are cited by 76% of FTSE 100s as ‘key stakeholders’.

This Black History Month, let's confront the systemic inequalities ingrained in U.S. infrastructure. While our nation grapples with aging roads, bridges, and power grids, it's imperative to acknowledge how infrastructure projects have historically perpetuated racial segregation and inequality within Black and Brown communities. As Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg highlighted, racism is physically embedded in some of our highways. A new $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan offers a glimmer of hope, with $20 billion allocated to communities historically marginalized by infrastructure projects. Additionally, investments in replacing lead pipes, expanding broadband access, and providing affordable housing are crucial steps towards building equitable infrastructure for all. The history of inequity in American infrastructure, from the displacement of communities of color during the construction of the interstate highway system to the environmental injustices faced by marginalized populations, cannot be ignored. It's time to reimagine infrastructure as a tool for justice As we advocate for equity let's ensure that metrics are in place to track investments in communities most in need. By prioritizing equity in infrastructure, we can pave the way for a more just and prosperous future for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #EquitableInfrastructure

Thus opens one of the most hotly debated topics of "main street" towns today. Should the highway go through downtown and become the main street, which inevitably leads to "strodes" and "dangerous by design" thoroughfares in pedestrian-rich environments, or do you route the high-speed traffic around the main downtown while trying to lure the "business and tourist traffic" into your charming, courthouse, picturesque, arts and entertainment active town square? How do you make a US or State highway a complete street?
