At Black Planning Project, we dream of creating a world where the beauty that overflows in the hearts of Black people is reflected in the building and planning of their communities.
Imagine Black people unreservedly taking up space, skateboarding, eating, laughing, and going about their lives.
In this vision, all of these people are free to learn, explore, work, grow, and create joy for themselves.
