Introducing Planning Concepts to Nonplanners

This audio contains a presentation that discusses diversity, equity and planning with historically disadvantaged communities. It offers an alternative perspective to traditional planning narratives that connects the lived experiences of nonplanners to planning activities and theories. The speaker highlights the social and political barriers that prevent disadvantaged communities from accessing infrastructure and public space. She reminds the audience that planning without consideration for these social and political realities will not result in equitable outcomes.
