As part of the Boston Office of Resilience and Racial Equity speaker series, Pittsburgh urban planner and Harvard Graduate School of Design Loeb fellow Karen Abrams discusses how she built up healthy community participation in Pittsburgh processes. Abrams tackled head-on the biggest obstacle that prevented her colleagues from engaging communities affected by change and development: they never spent time together. Abrams shares success stories and tips for building relationships and changing racial dynamics, encouraging ownership of changes within a neighborhood.
