Ep. 11 - Digital Communications, Volunteering, the Power of Social Capital, and a Sneak Peak at an Upcoming Project with Tony Lopez

In this episode, we sit down with Tony Lopez, an environmental planner at AECOM, to discuss his diverse experience in environmental planning and the importance of collaboration in urban development. Tony shares insights on his APA Distinguished Contribution Award, his efforts in mentoring young planners, and the impact of social mixers and educational events. We also explore tactical urbanism, a sneak peak of the development of a public space audit tool, and his vision for UrbanStrat as a platform for knowledge-sharing in urban planning.
