Lisa Schweitzer on Flourishing as the Central Human Value of Urban Planning

Professor Lisa Schweitzer opens this season of LA#Herself and explains how flourishing is "the heart of what urban planning has to be about," and how she works to make good neighborhoods, "physical shape aside, that give spaces for people to develop and grow such that flourishing spreads." Listen to how Lisa's belief in flourishing has shaped her researcher's and teacher's agenda, how that's tracked with her dedication to the topic of justice, be it about cities, gender, or ethnicity, and what she thinks we can all do to help.
