Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is facing criticism after suggesting that racism is a factor in the design of American city streets. According to reports, Buttigieg made the remarks during an interview in which he discussed the need for more inclusive and equitable transportation policies.
Buttigieg reportedly argued that the design of city streets, which often prioritize cars over pedestrians and cyclists, has contributed to racial disparities and inequality. He also cited examples of urban planning projects that have been criticized for displacing low-income communities of color.
The comments have sparked a debate about the role of urban planning in promoting social justice and equity, with some people applauding Buttigieg's efforts to address systemic issues, while others have criticized his comments as misguided and divisive.
