Placemaking in Latino Communities

Delaware Valley Regional Planning CommissionPhiladelphia, PA

Free event

Latinos are one of the largest and fastest growing social groups in the United States, and their increased presence is profoundly shaping the character of urban, suburban, and rural places. This is a response to these developments and is the first book written for readers seeking to learn about, engage and plan with Latino communities. It considers how placemaking in marginalized communities sheds light on, and can inform, community-building practices of professionals and place dwellers alike.
Leonardo Vazquez, AICP/PP, will discuss planning and placemaking issues facing Latino communities in the Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York metropolitan areas, and discuss his new book, Diálogos: Placemaking in Latino Communities. Topics will include cultural competency, the conflicts and challenges inherent in placemaking, and making effective and sustainable choices for practice in an increasingly multi-ethnic landscape.
