==Jessica Chen== {{#widget:YouTube|id=d1ri05cQiVY}} Jessica Chen is a Canadian urban planner currently based in MontrĂ©al, Quebec. Her city planning work generally focuses on developing urban policies and strategies that encourage pluralistic understanding of the cities and engage the diverse city builders in defining a collective vision. Jessica is the founder of Wabi Sabi Planning Laboratories, a consulting practice that she started in 2012, after a 12-year planning career at the City of Vancouver (COV). Most of her work with the COV focused on the regeneration of historic inner city neighbourhoods commonly known as the Downtown Eastside, including Gastown and Chinatown. Her work through Wabi Sabi Planning Laboratories often explores issues relating to cultural identity and its role as an asset in shaping urban landscape and city economy. Jessica holds a Master Degree in City Planning from the University of Pennsylvania and started her planning career in Philadelphia prior to working with the COV. After fifteen years of calling Vancouver home as an immigrant from Taiwan, she relocated to Montreal in 2013. Currently other than urban planning, she is also working on improving her French, finishing her various creative writing projects, a long-term passion of hers, and taking care of her seven-year-old son.
