Urban Consulate Confidential: Jay Pitter & Tamika Butler
“People ask, what word would you use to describe yourself — is it urbanist, is it planner, is it transportation person?” says Butler. “I think the thing for so many of us Black folks is that I don’t know how to describe the lane or space we’re in, but whatever it is, it’s dope as hell and everybody is trying to get in.” “You know why there isn’t a word for it?” replies Pitter. “Because we’re creating it in real time. It is so innovative. It’s so rich and textured and soulful. It defies a certain kind of language. It’s kinetic and rhythmic.”
