CEA - How Racism and Economics Affect Infrastructure with Collin Yarbrough

CEA - How Racism and Economics Affect Infrastructure with Collin Yarbrough

Civil engineering is famously known for its positive impacts on society once a project is completed and fully functioning. Today’s episode, however, will make you reflect on societal questions that play a crucial role in our communities long before the project is even approved.

Today’s guest is Collin Yarbrough, a pipeline engineer, bakery owner, and the author of Paved A Way. During his graduate studies, he was required to write a paper that later turned into his groundbreaking book, which tells the stories of how infrastructure projects have been silently contributing to social issues such as racism.

What You’ll Learn:

● How Collin Got into Engineering

● Collin’s Tough Life Period After the Recession of 2008

● 3 Key Concepts to Make a Pivot in Life or Career

● What Led Him to Write His Book

● How Infrastructure Projects Can be Tied to Social Issues

● How Cities Can Avoid These Social Problems

● What Engineers Themselves Can Do About it
