Healing the Built Environment is rooted in the intersections of Social Work practice and Urban Planning. The built environment is a manifestation of collective consciousness; through the lens of Social Work and healing can better facilitate cities' design to heal not to oppress. Participants will explore the ways in which Planners can shift their practice to a practice that centralizes people and uplifts community stories. Participants will dive deeper in concepts like: Systems Theory, Trauma-informed Planning, and Strengths Perspective.
