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

Happy Wednesday!! 😀 It's NATIONAL PRESERVATION MONTH! Author | C. Knighten National Preservation Month, also known as Historic Preservation Month is celebrated during the month of May to remind us about our Nation's heritage. Pervserving our historic buildings and homes is very important to our Nation and communities. Across our country, organizations promote various activities within our communities on the local, state and National levels. Preserving these places helps us to remember our History and the stories associated with each. Understanding our history is the key to improving our future. Without our history (ies) we might forget the lessons we have learned and should never repeat. Whether the story is found in your local library or your grandmother's attic, peeling back the layers of time🕰 helps us understand the past. Keeping these stories alive helps us provide a rich and textured history of the people who worked and lived there. Our imaginations can then begin to understand their hardships, what they overcame, and the difficult decisions they made in the face of adversity.

The following blog post by the rewilding organisation Sylvester dives into the history of the currently perceived separation between nature and culture and explains why it's important to deconstruct it. On a personal level, deconstructing this dualism is a deeply emotional process that reclaims our sense of belonging. On a collective level, deconstructing dualism looks at our colonial history and is a liberating process of collective freedom. Together, we call this process #regeneration 🌱🙌. Some insights into the topic from the article: "The nature/culture dualism has deep roots in Western philosophy as humanity sought to understand itself and the world." "In productive colonial terms and under the idea of private property, the dualism led to nature being synonymous to land as a commodity." "To move away from the nature/culture dualism, it is crucial to first recognize its eurocentric and colonial roots, as well as acknowledge indigenous peoples’ agencies and rights to land." "By expanding the notion of agency and creativity, we can start recognizing the interwoven stories of a particular place as well as the right of all communities, human and more-than-human, to thrive."
