How the Black Planning Project is Diversifying Urban Planning One Story at a Time | Abigail Moriah
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. Most importantly, through its various mentorship opportunities and research endeavours, the Black Planning Project builds the relationships and the community ties necessary to make sure that urban planning and hopefully the city building sector overall 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 some of the experiences and injustices that Black planners face in their profession,
- about resources and advice for emerging urban planners of colour to help them navigate the field,
- the importance of including diverse voices in the urban planning profession,
- and much more!
