we're having muting issues

we cannot unmute ourselves

Those numbers refer to students *in* the program, I assume. How many of those that are POC / women actually graduate from the undergraduate architecture program?

Why do we think that landscape architecture is lagging behind architecture in terms of diversity? Is it a lack of awareness of the profession?

How can we get more representation from minority populations at public meetings (besides providing language translation and childcare during the meeting)?

Jen, this is not a direct answer to your question but this video presentation (https://www.tamikabutler.com/blog/2019/9/7/downtown-denver-partnership-64th-annual-meeting-keynote-speaker-tamika-butler) made me rethink about public meetings; Instead of 'getting people to your meeting', start to think about how can we 'go to their table'.

Hope that helps some way :-)

Thanks, this sounds interesting.

Property values are known to increase in areas with public green space, especially newly designed space. What are the things we can do as landscape architects that help mitigate these effects (are there ideas we can layer into our projects and discuss with clients from the beginning) or are they mainly factors outside our control (ie. existing planning/development policy)?

How do we incentivize addressing/prioritizing the concerns of communities being negatively impacted by projects?

How do we incorporate change into the park design process to remove psychological barriers that keep some from using parks because they don't feel safe.
