Exploring the Connections between School Integration and Housing, Land Use and Transportation. Summary of IDRA EAC-South Literature Review
Equity Assistance Center Region II, Intercultural Development Research Association
This literature review summarizes research and policy considerations regarding the connection between housing and school segregation. This relationship was an early and consistent theme in civil rights law, emerging in key school desegregation cases in the 1970s and in implementation of the 1968 Fair Housing Act. But since that time, the divide between school and housing policy has only grown wider, with little effort to formally link these policy areas. The review begins by surveying historical accounts of discriminatory housing, school, land use, and transportation policies. It then details social science research into reciprocal effects -- in other words the ways that housing and school policies interact to reinforce segregation. Finally, we discuss policy proposals -- past and present -- to coordinate housing, school and transportation policy in support of integration. [For the accompanying bibliography, see ED629236.
