Reimagining Urban Planning: Advocacy in Urban Planning (July 11, 2024)
Reimagining Planning is a monthly series of public webinars that focuses on the edge of innovation in urban planning and policy. Traditionally Urban Planning has had a long legacy of harming communities of color, developing and implementing racist policies, and destruction of the built environment. This series openly critiques this current iteration of urban planning in the hopes of proposing new theories, strategies, and concepts that help us arrive at an iteration of the field where we all belong. We are interested in helping foster meaningful conversations among urban planners hungry for more and to engage with new audiences that have always been curious about urban planning but may not know what exactly do urban planners do.
Urban Planners have a lot of power and access to decision making power, thus making urban planning political. Conventional planning theory will have us believe that planning must happen from a place of objectivity, yet planners are also participants in the ecology from which they are planning from. This webinar explores the ways in which planners can be advocates within the field of urban planning, and will highlight competencies needed to provide Technical Assistance rooted in Equity.
This installment of the webinar series brought together:
Desiree’ “Dee” Powell is an Arlington, Texas native where she graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with her Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies and Masters in City & Regional Planning. She is an unconventional urban planner with the firm she founded and leads, DRBTS (Do Right By The Streets), which focuses on place keeping as a tool to implement temporary-to-permanent space activation projects in communities of color driven towards economic mobility and community sustainability. She specializes in educating and breaking down the complexities of urban planning elements within communities of color. Most (if not all) of her inspiration and drive in urban planning comes from the beauty of Black culture through music, places, streetwear, sneakers, activism, and Black migration.
An artist, storyteller, and urban design strategist of Jamaican descent, Courtney Morgan’s work redistributes power by using art as a social practice. Codesigned with vulnerable communities, Morgan’s civic-scale projects have engaged hundreds both on the street and in venues. These projects include creating space for designers who identify as other, through “Only Other Designers” and “Community Design Lab”, an an award winning youth-led environmental design engagement. Morgan has taught integrated design and design strategy at Parsons School of Design, where she is an AICAD Teaching Fellow. Courtney Morgan is the president and owner of SCRD, a design studio that uses design strategy to center and empower stakeholders to build thriving urban communities.
Kristen Jeffers was one of the first people to bring the concept of Black urbanism to the internet by launching The Black Urbanist, which continues to be a resource for Black urbanism at the intersections of feminism, disability, and queer/trans life. She hosts and produces the podcast Defying Gentrification, and is the author of the forthcoming A Black Urbanist Journey to an Accessible Queer Feminist Future, along with a companion masterclass, and writes a regular newsletter on Substack called “Defying Gentrification, Crafting Liberation”. Under the banner of Kristpattern, she shares her journey into sustainable fashion and invites others to do the same. A sought-after public speaker and workshop leader, she resides in the District of Columbia with her partner and fellow Black queer feminist urbanist.
Jose Richard Aviles (Moderator) is a Transportation Analyst for the Othering and Belonging Institute. As part of the Community Power and Policy Partnerships team, they support government agencies and partners with community organizations by providing trainings, technical assistance, and evaluation support centering lived experience, vision, and self-determination of the communities most impacted by transit inequities. Aviles draws inspiration from their involvement with the Bus Riders Union in Los Angeles and participation in other social justice movements like marriage equality.

Awesome dance!! Thanks Patrick! and Thanks to OB for sharing it.
هم وراء كل قرف في العالم
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮Jews are the root of evil in the world
horrible race hustler... total brainrot... need some Sowell asap to fix my braindamage after listening to this tool...
There are cruel racists among Japanese people and it's awful.
To dare to belong, for the I to seek courage from within to find shelter in the we.
More than 14 trillions plus land
I think this was an excellent talk.
Wooooow! Viet is a God
The Asian responsible for this are mostly incels who sit around listening to alt right content
Is the NBA institutional racism?
' 'the practice of othering we do assimilatning...' 'Watching minds change... '[loss of ]material grouends for anothers belonging' so much.
An amazing conversation, and needed more than ever at this moment....
The irony of having such an educational video with some of the most asinine comments I have ever read in my life. These people have no shame.
Bro getting rid of affirmative action was the most anti-Asian thing Asians could have done to themselves…. So but your name is on that trick bag
Naomi Klein may be out to lunch but that Sherene Seikaly (centering Congo and Sudan and Haiti...) is truly a lunatic.
Tune in at 20:15 to hear the international intellectual Naomi Klein say this, about her own parents: "I mean, they were Americans, so they didn't know anything about other countries..." >> to the expected laughs and applause from her audience. Gross. This says all you need to know about this particular champagne socialist and pastoral Marxist air miles specialist.
Thank you for recording modeling and bringing the power of body and soul! We in the InterPlay community say Yes!
please put this on your Spotify podcast so I can add it to my playlist
💯 one of the brightest minds on the internet!!! 👑 IMANI
Go Sarah!!!!!
YOU ARE NOT A LOAN!!!
THANK YOU !
Excellent book. Hispanics have been claiming whiteness for centuries!!!!
Only thing that will stop racism is Fred G. Sanford's Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat. U big dummy...lol...
Astra Taylor is a star ⭐
This is SO good
I am dealing with racism on the job. I have emails and recording of the experience me and 2 other employees has experience. We reported it to the director of HR and the president of the company and nothing was done. The EEOC was sent a statement and and the company responded and we was able to prove the the employer lied and their original attorney quit. Now the EEOC won't pursue anything and the company now trying to fire me.
Hell happens when evil exceeds our belief in the ability to conquer it. Faith in ourselves and us together. Don't stay silent!
Talmud moment
You say all these things but the statistics show different. If i spoke the truth here id be banned for honesty. How convenient.
Bioregionalism is a new concept I heard but not a foreign idea to me!! Thanks for this share 💕
weirdos wanna act like it dont exist because they hiding they head from it like uh ostrich All the while cops prove they terrorists runaway slave patrol willie lynch syndrome court system prove they still under that jim crow whites only along wit housins just cuz it aint happenin to them it dont exist in they circle but over here on the other side of perfect in life we goin threw hell an them on the other side only say ooooh so sorry or it sucks to be youuuuu bud 😢truth hurts B
Amazing conversation and insight!!!❤
Soft, cringe and straight up dumb.
If i could shape the World" Another God Complexed arrogant narcissist like George Skros who believes himself to know the minds if everyone else and that his ideas afe best. Anti Racism is racism. Its practice will kill white people. That is Kendi way to resolve
💚💚
More funding for immigrant housing is coming soon. 🎉
LOVE the concept of "targeted universalism" 💜💜💜💯
LOVE this concept! You're an amazing human john a. powell! 💜
Very much a yin and yang discussion. One was focused on suffering, violence, pain, and deprivation, while the other was focused on togetherness, community, hope, and promise.
Thank you for posting this. It is very difficult to remember that we tend to flatten people's complexity by making them "the enemy." We live in separate bubbles which makes it so hard to see the humanity of anyone not in our bubbles. It can be hard even within a bubble. If I have any difference in opinion to those close to me, I am nervous to voice it because we are living in such a heightened time. I am working on my listening skills too. It's said that if you can make the space to listen with calm curiosity, others may calm too and be more interested in hearing your story as well.
Just as powerful as it was in person. 👏🏿
So spot on, Imani! Thank you for articulating so much. 💕
What a gorgeous conversation
Impactful conversation! Thanks Bayo for this conversation with Ashish Kothari. He is awesome!
Imani continues to humble me in the best way. So grateful for her words
beautiful grateful to hear this speech
Wow! Such a powerful prompt 😅 I can’t think about one right now but I have definitely felt this before.
