At SCARP planning experts gather across the world to share new perspectives and insights and ask the pertinent questions of the day. Each talk has new insights and best practices for equitable cities, climate resilience, community partnerships, and more; with implications applying to us all.
These talks are sometimes formally planned in yearly themes in our Speaker Series, and often these visiting speakers are welcomed as insightful experts of great interest to the planning world.
Before entering the professional world as planners, graduate students of SCARP’s professionally-accredited Master of Community and Regional Planning program tackle not only simulated challenges, but real-world problems. These students, teamed up with complementary skills and lenses, partner with community, municipal, and private-sector organizations as consultants, in a joint venture to identify problems and formally propose feasible solutions.
When the pandemic began, the students of the Studio persevered and continued their research insights remotely, leading to an online record of their presentation, that has amplified their work and inspired people worldwide. Nowadays we proudly share students' introductory presentations. Take a look below, and feel free to read their full findings!
