  • Some episodes good others not so much

    I sometimes like this podcast and find the episodes informative. Can be a good way to learn about new writing and initiatives in planning. Other times they are the most surface-level, buzzword filled drivel of the sort that dominates the planning profession (ex: San Diego County episode). Would appreciate a more critical perspective. But that’s that APA for ya.

  • Thank You!

    Not everyone can or want to get a degree in Urban Planning, Equity Planning or Placemaking, so I am beyond grateful to learn from this platform - especially one that is grounded in a justice framework. I am an artist- researcher and I appreciate your work. Thank you!
