Knowledge Place Power - An Urban Planning Initiative
ashley casimir
Hi all! I wanted to share an incredible initiative from someone I admire—feel free to check it out or pass it along to anyone who might be interested.
What if more people had the tools to understand how their neighborhoods really work—and the power to help shape them?
Knowledge. Place. Power. is a new community education and professional development program that breaks down the systems behind planning, policy, and geography. It helps residents, frontline workers, and institutional staff understand how decisions around land use, zoning, transportation, and infrastructure impact daily life—and how they can influence those decisions.
It’s perfect for anyone working to:
Strengthen community engagement
Build more equitable plans and policies
Foster trust between agencies and the people they serve
It’s practical, empowering, and designed to meet people where they are—whether they’re new to these topics or already deep in the work.
If you’re curious or want to learn more, the founder would love to connect! Just let me know and I’ll introduce you.
