Urban Planner, Place It!

James Rojas is an urban planner, community activist, educator, and artist who runs the planning, model-building, and community-outreach practice Place It!. He has developed an interdisciplinary, community-healing, visioning, and outreach process that uses storytelling, objects, art-production, and play to help improve the urban-planning outreach process. He is the co-author of the new book, Dream Play Build: Hands-on Community Engagement for Enduring Space and Places. Building off of 15 years of experience in engaging diverse audiences through their hands and senses in planning and design, the book offers a look at how people of all ages and backgrounds can incorporate these methods into their own efforts to effect change in their neighborhoods and cities.
