description: Income inequality has been the primary establishing factor for the conditions of citizens lives for thousands of years. Moreso ever thantoday due to the worldwide shift to capitalism and wealth prioritization, it establishes an all too influential baseline for the conditions that a person will face throughout their existence in human society. Despite our knowledge of these problems, we continue to reinforce them through various means; through policy, through bias, and through design. In order to develop an appropriate reaction to resolve this, the historic roots of these problems within urban design must be identified and counteracted.
