Abstract
  • Over the past 25 years, the planning profession has become aware of a troubling lack of diversity in its membership, leadership, and professional development process. Efforts to increase racial, cultural, and economic diversity within the planning profession span a 25-year period, with a deeper commitment by the American Planning Association (APA) especially evident since the late 1990s. Written by one of the leaders in the diversity-in-planning movement, this article discusses these efforts and provides a series of recommendations made by the APA Diversity Taskforce in 2005 to increase diversity in the planning profession.
