On today’s Architectette podcast we welcome planner Martha Cross, the Deputy Director of the City of Philadelphia’s Division of Planning and Zoning. Martha started her education in architecture school, but then pursued a career in planning, development, and non-profit work. Her experience and her path are truly inspiring.We talk about:- Martha’s realization, during architecture school, that she wasn’t interested in architecture.- The scary part of leaving architecture behind, but how an architecture degree is a great foundational education.- What it’s like to be a planner and how her projects are changing lives and impacting generations.- The sacrifices and benefits of working for a non-profit developer.- The most important things for architects to consider to think like planners.- The City of Philadelphia's new Cultural Resources Plan and Pilot Project.>>>Connect with Martha:Cultural Resources Plan and Pilot Project: https://www.phlpreservation.org/University of Pennsylvania Master of City Planning Degree: https://www.design.upenn.edu/city-regional-planning/graduate/graduate-city-and-regional-planning-programsAmerican Planning Association Certification (AICP=American Institute of Certified Planners): https://www.planning.org/certification/AIA Women’s Leadership Summit: https://www.aia.org/resources/6515137-womens-leadership-summit-2022BUILD (Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development): https://www.buildiaf.org/ULI's Young Leader Group: https://americas.uli.org/councils/district-councils/get-involved/young-leaders-group-ylg/ULI NEXT Cohort: https://americas.uli.org/councils/district-councils/get-involved/next/>>>Connect with Architectette:- Website: www.architectette.com (Learn more)- Instagram: @architectette (See more)- Newsletter: www.architectette.com/newsletter (Behind the Scenes Content)- LinkedIn: The Architectette Podcast Page and/or Caitlin Brady>>>Support Architectette by leaving us a rating and review!>>>Music by AlexGrohl from Pixabay.
