SESSION DESCRIPTION

So much of the work that happens in the fields of landscape design and planning is determined by the decision makers. Who are they? When those positions don’t represent the people and places being directly impacted, the result is environmental and social dissonance. Conway invites three leading voices in the fields of environmental justice and urban planning to share their thoughts on this topic.

We’ll explore how people become decision-makers in communities, the barriers to accessing those positions, and the need for the shared understanding and communication that are essential to the design and planning processes.
