Urban Cipher is a creative way to unpack how cities and federal agencies created urban apartheid by design. It is a refreshing twist on the monopoly genre.
The educational board game illuminates how public policy and real estate practices shape the destinies of entire communities. It is a fun learning tool to use in schools, staff trainings, and organizational workshops.
