Moriah

Founder of The Black Planning Project | The Black Planning Group, Toronto, CA

Abigail Moriah is a connector, facilitator and planner specializing in affordable housing and equity in development. She has a diverse background in the nonprofit, community and public sectors which has shaped how she reflects on and engages in urban planning practice, inspiring her to pursue a planning approach that builds bridges across practitioners, scholars and community. Her practice focuses on Black experiences and engagement in planning, housing development and the creation of community space, and community-centred real estate development.

In 2018, she launched the Black Planning Project which seeks to contribute knowledge and highlight Black perspectives in planning through collaborative research. She is excited to be part of teams that started MIIPOC (2019) - a mentorship initiative for Indigenous, Black and racialized emerging professionals in planning and the Black Planners and Urbanists Association (2020), both which seek to connect, support and create access for racialized planners.
