Expand sanctuary concept from cities to suburbs

University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutmann was similarly explicit in articulating Penn’s commitment to undocumented students in an email to the university community, insisting that “we are a richer campus for our inclusion and diversity.” As dean of the School of Design at Penn, where I also teach in the Departments of City Planning and Landscape Architecture, I believe now is the time to expand this sanctuary city concept; to make all our cities refuges for learning, for health and safety, for tolerance and inclusion, and environmental quality.
