Karen Chapple is an American city planning academic and currently holds the Carmel P. Friesen Chair in Urban Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.[1][2]

Education

Chapple received an undergraduate degree in Urban Studies at Columbia University, a Masters of Science in Community and Regional Planning from Pratt Institute and a Ph.D in City and Regional Planning from University of California, Berkeley.[3][4]

Career

Chapple’s research on the planning, development, and governance of regions is distinguished by its focus on equitable development, community-engaged approach, and increasingly, analysis of big data and use of public dissemination strategies. Since 2006, Chapple has served as the faculty director for the Center for Community Innovation (CCI), a research center at the University of California, Berkeley.[3] The CCI promotes equitable and resilient futures via research on housing, land use, economic development and urban sustainability issues. Over the past decade, Chapple has raised $7.5 million to fund research and technical assistance by the Center. The CCI houses three major projects to support the diversifying of housing options and expansion of economic opportunities: The Urban Displacement Project (UDP), Planning Sustainable Regions and Planning for Jobs.[5] The UDP, which was co-founded by Chapple in 2015, was created in order to be an action and research initiative to promote equitable development in future cities.[3][6]

Chapple has also served on the faculties of the University of Minnesota and the University of Pennsylvania. At the onset of her career, she worked for the New York City Department of Transportation, Philip Habib & Associaties, the San Francisco Planning Department, and Strategic Economics.
