Please join us for an event with Kendra Smith, Ph.D., author of the 2019 American Planning Association report, “More and Better: Increasing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Planning.” Dr. Smith will speak and lead an interactive session about the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as the legacy of racism in urban planning and policy and how this can be seen and felt today.
In this interactive talk, we will discuss the habits of mind and practical actions that help planners create meaningful diversity and actively work toward equity and inclusion within their organizations and in planning outcomes.
