Just attended the "Planning While Black: Sustaining an Inclusive Urban Renaissance" panel at the American Planning Association conference, and I'm truly inspired! It's a powerful reminder of how crucial equity is in urban planning. As planners, we must keep communities at the heart of every decision. Let's commit to making equity and inclusivity the foundation of our work. #UrbanPlanning #EquityInAction #APAConference

I just finished reading the City of Charlotte 2040 Comprehensive policy plan and I must say it is a pretty good and well informed city development framework. I am curious to see how well it will or is being executed and how true it remains to its core values and principle. https://lnkd.in/etsSgAC4

What a great discussion about Urban challenges in Atlanta in the Urban Development Policy course at Georgia Tech School of Public Policy. Looking forward to more of these as the semester progresses!
Policy Advisor for Neighborhoods at the City of Atlanta and Director of the Center for Urban Research at the Georgia Institute of Technology
Want to thank former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin for spending some time with my Urban Policy Class last week at the School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech. She shared her insights on how cities work (and how sometimes they don't) and how we should always be "thinking big". She was inspirational as always. The session made me wonder whether we are taking full advantage of the wisdom of those who have made such important contributions to our city. Of course, Shirley did share that her former boss Andrew Young is still giving her projects to work on, so perhaps we are in some ways!

Our Topographic Map feature now lets you explore the city's contours and landscapes as they were nearly three decades ago. 🏙️ Imagine seeing how the City of Brotherly Love's hills and valleys have changed over the years. Discover historical landmarks in their past context, and compare them with the present to witness the city's evolution. 📚 For researchers, urban planners, or anyone fascinated by Philadelphia's rich history, this is a goldmine! It's not just a map; it's a time capsule that tells a story of urban development, landscape changes, and historical growth.

Urban residents in the Northeast make, on average, 34% of their trips within a 15-minute walk of their home. In the Southeast, that number drops to just 18%. Exciting new research from MIT showing that many in the US already live within a "15-minute city" and the opportunities available to enable even more people to live in close proximity to their daily needs when we enable more uses within our existing neighborhood zoning.

Please join MAS on Tuesday, May 21 for a lunchtime virtual talk as part of our Enduring Culture Initiative, with Kamau Ware, Shelley Worrell, Jiefei Yuan, Delma Palma, Pete Nice, and Amanda Boston, Ph.D. With New York City in a constant state of change, how can the field of preservation be expanded to be a more multivocal, equitable, accessible, and inclusive framework for supporting diverse layers of history and culture in our city? What implications could such a shift have on our urban policy? Historic preservation has traditionally been practiced with strict rules for maintaining material integrity tied to a specific place and time, most often through a singular perspective. However, a sense of place involves a larger set of narratives and layered histories. As our built environment shifts to adapt to our climate crisis, address our housing crisis, and deconstruct the legacy of racist planning and marginalizing policy, how can the field of preservation evolve to do more than one thing for more than one purpose? How can preservation practiced in non-traditional forms provide the opportunity for our urban fabric to be flexible, adaptable, and reflect layers of history to support multiple communities over time?

🏗️Sustainable Development Spotlight! For many, housing is more than just a building or a room they rent—it’s the relationships, the history, the system that brings neighbors together. This is why it’s so important for cities to take a people-centered, inclusive approach to urban development. In our final spotlight, gathered by the International Society for Urban Health (ISUH) team, Somsook Boonyabancha of the Asian Coalition for Housing Rights (ACHR) shares what it means to make housing development more inclusive and how urban planners and local government need to consider the needs of all residents, across neighborhoods and income levels.
