ABSTRACT

This chapter reflects on the work of a series of “Diálogos,” Spanish for dialogue, first embraced by the Latinos and Planning Division of the American Planning Association, used as a mechanism for community engagement with Latino communities. While “Diálogos” have been held around the country this chapter will focus primarily on a Diálogo in 2013 on the U.S.–Mexico border, an area known for its higher percentage of Latinos and unique characteristics.
