Dr. Lisa K. Bates of Portland State University has won the Scholar Prize. Mr. Hector Verdugo of Homeboy Industries, Los Angeles has won the Practitioner Prize.  The 2016 theme is Planning for Community Self Determination and Racial Justice. The Dale Prize asks policy makers, developers, and practitioners to reflect on their historic contributions to racially segregated and unequal communities through urban renewal, redevelopment and exclusionary zoning practices. How have planners contributed to racial and spatial inequality? How can we use our collective influence and expertise to alter the course of separate-­and-­unequal treatment of racialized communities? The public is invited to participate in the following Dale Prize events: Wednesday, February 10Reception from 5:00 – 6:00 pm Ursa Minor, Bronco Student Center
