Allan Co

Allan is a Program Director for CPI North America. He brings over 15 years of experience implementing and managing community-engaged design and urban development projects focused on racial equity, social justice, and anti-displacement through creating community spaces for non-profits, affordable housing development, and community-control-based planning.
