==Jessica Chen== {{#widget:YouTube|id=d1ri05cQiVY}} Jessica Chen is a Canadian urban planner currently based in Montréal, 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. Jessica Chen est une urbaniste canadienne qui habite à Montréal, Québec. Sa pratique d’urbanisme se concentre généralement sur le développement de politiques et de stratégies urbaines qui promeuvent la compréhension pluraliste des villes et engagent les divers bâtisseurs de villes vers une vision collective. Jessica est la fondatrice de Wabi Sabi Planning Laboratories, une entreprise de consultation, qu’elle a établi en 2012 après une carrière d’urbanisme de 12 ans à la ville de Vancouver (COV). La plupart de son porte-folio avec la COV s’est concentré sur la régénération des quartiers historiques du centre-ville, communément appelé le “Downtown Eastside”, à l’intérieur duquel est inclus Gastown et le quartier chinois. Ses projets à travers Wabi Sabi Planning Laboratories explorent souvent les questions liées à l’identité culturelle et son rôle d’atout pour façonner le paysage urbain et l’économie de la ville. Jessica détient une maîtrise en urbanisme de l’University of Pennsylvania et a commencé sa carrière d’urbanisme à Philadelphie avant de travailler avec la COV. Originaire de Taiwan, elle a vécu pendant 15 ans à Vancouver, qu’elle a d’ailleurs considéré comme sa ville d’adoption, avant de déménager, en 2013, à Montréal. Présentement, mise à part l’urbanisme, elle travaille également à améliorer son français, à finir ses projets créatifs d’écriture, une passion de longue date, et s’occupe de son fils de sept ans.
