UBC SCARP Speaker Series: SCARP's Leonie Sandercock and Maggie Low
UBC School of Community and Regional Planning
March 29th 2023
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM PST

In this new speaker series, starting with UBC SCARP faculty and soon new perspectives and lenses from worldwide experts in planning, we welcome students, faculty, alumni, and planners and friends near and far, to hear new perspectives, network, and ask the pertinent questions of the day. 

SCARP STANDS BY A CUTTING-EDGE APPROACH TO PLANNING, NURTURING INNOVATION, CHALLENGING CONVENTIONS, AND KEEPING PACE WITH A RAPIDLY-CHANGING WORLD AND THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES WE FACE TODAY. WE BELIEVE IN KNOWLEDGE IN ACTION AND PLANNING IN PARTNERSHIP.

As our first event: SCARP's Indigenous Community Planning Co-Chairs, Maggie Low and Leonie Sandercock

Discussing themes from her up-in-coming book, Sandercock, one of the leading figures in community planning and dedicated to social, cultural, and environmental justice, discusses how we may find purpose and hope in community planning.
