Check out this quote from @k_atherton1 on a recently published policy memo ft. authors from STEPUP! They took a look at the Bunker Hill Public Housing development and how the city could reduce the urban heat island effect and improve equitable environmental health outcomes.
"The Bunker Hill Public Housing development is...home to a large population of racial and ethnic minorities, that requires major redevelopment and repair to enhance the safety of its residents" says @k_atherton1 et al. of @STEPUP_BU
