Guest Holly Harriel (MCP '03) and Dasjon Jordan (MCP '19) join hosts Tiffany Ferguson (MCP '18) and Samra Lakew (MCP '20) to explore how community and economic development in the pursuit of more just and equitable cities has been transformed by disruptions associated with the COVID 19 pandemic.

Season two of the Planning Ideas that Matter (PITM) podcast examines how the global COVID-19 pandemic has re-shaped the field of urban planning, changed our thinking about interventions, and what ought to be? This question is discussed with members of the Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) faculty as well as MIT alumnae/i who work in specific domains of urban planning.

PITM is produced by DUSP and Dave Lishansky of David Benjamin Sound through the generous support from Bemis Funding and Dean of the MIT School of Architecture and Planning, Hashim Sarkis.
