In the third episode of the second season of Planning Ideas that Matter (PITM), hosts Tiffany Ferguson (MCP '18) and Samra Lakew (MCP '20) are joined by Fábio Duarte and DUSP alumna Taskina Tareen (MCP '18) to discuss how design can be leveraged to enhance urban planning goals such as enhancing community engagement, introducing more playfulness into urban experiences, and placemaking.

The second season of PITM focuses on how has the global COVID-19 pandemic shaped the field of urban planning, the lessons we have learned from a period of disruption, and where we might go from here.

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.
