The URSP Diversity Video Wall was originally produced in 2015. Its purpose was to provide a venue for
those in the planning field to share their thoughts regarding diversity and planning.
In 2019, I realized the Wall was no longer accessible. In this light, I have tried to recreate the wall,
with the belief that though some of our speakers have changed jobs, their insights still are of value today.

Under direction of Alex Chen

We are grateful to all who gave graciously
of their time to participate.
