"""In this generous collection of essays, curated by Elgin Cleckley, designers and planners share why and how they make places for multiple voices by engaging in deep listening that recognizes differences in experience of communities across the neighborhood and around the globe. The principle of empathic design draws from place histories to share the diverse ways in which communities are nurtured reminding planners and designers to slow down, engage, and listen if they are to truly serve the people and land to which they are accountable.""--Thaïsa Way, Dumbarton Oaks, Harvard University ""Empathic Design is an eye-opening book. It is a clear, concrete exploration of what 'equity and justice, ' and 'shared emotion' can mean in the public spaces we build. Professor Cleckley has brought together a group of sophisticated professionals who are actively designing and building places that speak to, and support underserved Black and Native American communities. Training themselves in deeply empathetic approaches to design, they weave stories of hidden histories and living culture into the life of cities."" --Robert Lamb Hart, architect and chairman Emeritus of Hart Howerton. Author of 'A New Look at Humanism: In Architecture, Landscapes, and Urban Design'"
