Our Commitment
Community Planning Collaborative is a firm with a mission.
CPC was founded with the goal to change the way our profession practices planning and historic preservation. We are intent on building a shared culture of equity, working with team members and communities with different backgrounds, skills, and views. This means nurturing relationships with people of varied race, color, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, neurodiversity, ability, veteran status, or criminal history. We understand intersectionality and how that impacts people’s lived experience. Equity is essential to our mission of elevating the voices and culture of those traditionally excluded from urban planning, land use and zoning. We’ll be our whole selves and we want you to be too.
