Nerd Night: EP Environmentalism
Thursday, May 26, 2022 @ 6:00pm
Community Engagement | Cultural & Historical Preservation | Capacity Building
As the city of El Paso grows, urban planners have aimed to revitalize the city in ways that appeal to all of its citizens. However, in recent years it has become apparent that community-based planning is essential to the city’s vitality. People who are close to neighborhood issues can clearly identify community needs and advocate passionately for local concerns. This Nerd Night will explore ways in which planners can implement meaningful community engagement in the planning process and develop resilient communities through a bottom-up approach to urban planning.
