The School of Planning is pleased to announce the second installment of the 2020-2021 AGP Speaker Series, featuring Dr. Zhixi Zhuang, an Associate Professor at the School of Urban and Regional Planning at Ryerson University and a Registered Professional Planner.
Dr. Zhuang's research explores how immigrant settlement affects city landscapes, municipal policies and planning. She has been conducting mixed-method research in various immigrant suburbs across the Toronto Region. Her research addresses the importance of adopting equity-based approaches to engage immigrants in decision-making and support inclusive community-building. Her research findings provide empirical evidence to help inform policymakers and planning practitioners of community perspectives. One of her research outputs is a 25-minute documentary entitled “Globurbia: Suburban Place-making Amidst Diversity” which can be accessed via this link.
Registration is required for this event.
