How the Black Planning Project is Diversifying Urban Planning One Story at a Time

In this episode, I speak with Abigail Moriah, a registered urban planner and founder of the Black Planning Project. Through this initiative, Abigail and her team collect and share the stories of Black urban planning professionals and students to highlight their important work and encourage more diverse voices to enter the profession. Through its mentorship opportunities and research endeavours, the Black Planning Project builds the relationships and the community ties necessary to make sure that urban planning makes room for new perspectives and ideas. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why it is essential to encourage spaces where urban planners can discuss racial injustices in planning - About the experiences and injustices Black planners face in their profession - About resources and advice for emerging urban planners of colour - The importance of including diverse voices in the urban planning profession - And much more Guest: Abigail Moriah, blackplanningproject.com
