EMPOWER THROUGH DESIGN

NEWS 

​
BLACK SPACES plants a stake in the ground.  BlackSpace NYC is a collective of over two dozen active professionals with experience in urban planning, architecture, real estate development, urban design, and the arts. BlackSpace was formed in Brooklyn, NY as a brunch group after Harvard Graduate School of Design’s 2015 Black in Design Conference (BiD). As Black urbanists and residents of Black enclaves throughout the City, the one thing we returned to over and over in our monthly discussions was that often, we were the only black or brown faces at the table about policy decisions that affected predominantly Black and marginalized communities. ​more>

​Space and Places is a grassroots network of urban planners, policymakers, and designers formed in 2016 to amplify work on the issues affecting communities of color that are too often not fully recognized or addressed by professional urban planning and design communities.

That effort, with the support of a committee of volunteers, the Gehl Institute, and WXY Studio, has resulted in a series of ‘unconference’ convenings held in conjunction with the American Planning Asso.
