Reimagining Planning is a monthly series of public webinars that focuses on the edge of innovation in urban planning and policy. Traditionally Urban Planning has had a long legacy of harming communities of color, developing and implementing racist policies, and destruction of the built environment. This series openly critiques this current iteration of urban planning in the hopes of proposing new theories, strategies, and concepts that help us arrive at an iteration of the field where we all belong. We are interested in helping foster meaningful conversations among urban planners hungry for more and to engage with new audiences that have always been curious about urban planning but may not know what exactly do urban planners do.
Webinar 1: State of The Practice, April 4 at 11am PT
To kick off the webinar series we invite speakers to a symposium to discuss the current iteration of the Urban Planning field. Presenters will be asked to name the pitfalls of the current iteration of the field, identify frameworks or practices that have been successful in achieving more equitable community-led planning processes, and share hopes/forecasts for a more equitable iteration of the planning field.
Webinar 2: Arts and Cultural Strategies in Urban Planning, May 2
Webinar 3: Embodiment and Urban Planning, June 13 & more to come!
