Improvise, Innovate and Involve: 3 Planners Reveal the Importance of Flipping Your Perspective

Welcome to the third episode of Short Takes, a three-part
miniseries from the American Planning Association. Short Takes,
hosted by Sophia Burns, brings listeners into the field with
planners pursuing inventive new approaches to everyday issues:
community engagement, land use and zoning, and career
advancement. In this episode, we share how three planners helped
community members navigate change with deep listening, secret
shopping, and sometimes leading by following. Listen as they
share how putting themselves in stakeholders’ shoes ultimately
made them a more informed and effective collaborator.
