This is so inspirational! As a Latino construction worker wanting to do more for my community , I decided to go to college at the age of 30. A bit late but I am glad I am taking this step in my life. I am also grateful for your videos and all the information you have given us. This is so helpful for those of us who are interested in joining the field. Thank you !
One thing I’ve learned while surfing the web...there’s a lot of job posting that won’t explicitly say “urban planner” but when you look at the description it uses a lot of the skills we learn in school
i would love to hear about how you chose your schools, majors, programs, etc especially for different specialties like if you’re more interested in environment, transportation or maybe housing
Trying to get back into the profession directly. I worked for a poor rural county and my bosses were very difficult, the region was very undeveloped, and I got fired :( Currently I work as a GIS person, but using it for I.T. purposes is not really my skillset and it is too hard! Hopefully, some of the local planning positions will give me a chance!
Yes! I love your videos! I am studying urban studies at UIC in Chicago and hoping to get a master's there. Urban planning is so interesting, I am mostly interested in environmental planning and protecting natural resources in cities.
Thank you so much for this!!! Ugh I love your understanding of urban planning and race it’s what we need in the urban planning world 😭I am applying for this upcoming year and this video was very inspiring bc it reminded me that we have WOC going into this field and I’m excited to see what the future holds for our communities much love ❤️
University applications are due in less than a month and I've been feeling so lost on what I want to do. I literally came across urban planning yesterday and I kinda love it? This seems like something I could be happy doing. Of course I'm doing tons of research on it now and your videos helped a TON! Thanks so much!!
Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration. I am currently thinking of changing my undergrad degree to Urban Studies emphasis in Urban Planning and Management!
BLESSSSS YOU! Just ordered Transforming Communities. I am currently pursing my bachelors in urban studies and hearing your experience and thread of thoughts about your discoveries is helping me navigate mine!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I’m taking a similar route to you studying Urban Studies for my bachelor then on to graduate school for Urban Planning. I haven’t met anyone that went through this path so your video reassured me. If you haven’t already, I would love to hear about your experience studying at Columbia since I’m hoping to transfer there for my Sophomore year!!
thank you so much for this! gave me more ideas about where to go with urban studies, as i was dreading the policy/bureaucratic aspect of the field. community / housing is definitely more what i want to do. would love to have more book recommendations in this theme!
This is a brilliant video. I am interested in urban planning and I need to write an employability plan (2nd year BA Geography). Your advice about listening properly to the communities with whom you plan is very important. Thanks for your help.
Thanks so much for your videos, currently thinking of study/career change into Urban planning, your videos have been really interesting and helpful! Would love to see a video on more book recommendations- do you have any recommendations for books that are more focused on urban planning in the UK?
thank you! i will check the reading material from some of my grad school modules and see if I can find some books that are specific to planning in the UK!
I have just completed my bachelors degree in community development and public policy (double major) . I am hoping to receive an acceptance letter from the Urban and regional planning school for my masters in just 2 days (February 5th) fingers crossed 🤞 😢🥺. Watching you from South Africa ♥ thank you so much for this ♥ ♥ 😊 😊

Hi! Thank you for sharing your experience. As an aspiring urban planner, I was wondering if i should go into an undergraduate urban planning program after high school or get a bachelors degree. And then gain experience in urban planning while studying a masters. Thanks!

Yep! definitely true. That's how I found my current job.
Quesadiyah to expand on that...what are some other keywords I should look for when trying to find these hidden jobs?
Would you mind sharing those job titles? Are they nonprofit/commercial/gvt?
I’d definitely be interested in a video on forming personal statements and applying to and choosing grad schools!
And book recs too!
I second this!!
Are you an urban planner please can we connect
Video of the books would be great! I already added all of these in my goodreads.
