Regional + City Planning Assistant Professor Bryce Lowery and Professor Lisa Schweitzer, of the University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy, recently coauthored the article “Justice and Urban Design,” published in the book The New Companion to Urban Design (Routledge, 2019).
