Learning from Asian Americans: Implications for Planning

Abstract

This commentary serves as an introduction for the planning academe about Asian Americans and how an understanding of their racialization can contribute to anti-racist frameworks in planning. Asian Americans are a unique group comprised of diverse communities with a long history in the country. Yet, most research about Asian Americans exists outside of mainstream planning scholarship. Asian Americans offer several insights for planning, including how to contend with intragroup and intergroup differences, how racialization upholds white supremacy, and how to document histories of activism. We end with recommendations to rethink diversity and racial climate in the field.
