ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights how a student team implemented a community engagement process for a USEPA funded project that was embedded in the graduate planning studio in the accredited City and Regional Planning program at Temple University. Using photovoice, a participatory action research method, students learned how to plan and manage engagement that focused on participants as the source of knowledge and used participants’ photographs to highlight lived experiences, promote dialogue, and uncover community desires. The participants felt that this was a valuable experience and the activities helped them realize how the neighborhood could change.
