The Michigan Black Professional Planners invite you to Bridging the Gap: A Guide for Making Planning Language Work for People!
Urban planning operates within complex government systems that are often inaccessible. This workshop explores how planners can serve as interpreters and navigators between communities and bureaucratic systems. Participants will leave with tools/strategies to communicate with communities confidently about government processes and reduce barriers to participation and understanding.
Hosted at the Michigan State University Detroit Center, 3408 Woodward Ave. Detroit, MI 48201
