Taiwo Jaiyeoba on How Planners Can Lead Through Zoning Reform and by Crafting Equitable Comprehensive Plans

Addressing systemic racism and entrenched inequity has become an
imperative for many institutions. Planners are in a unique
position to make a big course correction on equity through
comprehensive planning — if they embrace the opportunity to lead.


On this episode of People Behind the Plans, Taiwo Jaiyeoba joins
host Meghan Stromberg to talk about leading zoning reform efforts
in Charlotte and Greensboro, North Carolina, both as a planning
director and in his current role as city manager. He also shares
his tips for winning over naysayers and his thoughts on what
makes a good comprehensive plan.
