As Deputy Chief of Urban Design at the Boston Planning & Development Agency, Diana Fernandez Bibeau will elevate the importance of urban design, and champion the transformative power of sustainable and walkable communities for all ages and abilities. 

With over a decade of private practice experience, Diana has built a design portfolio that reassesses the policies that have perpetuated race, gender, environmental and socioeconomic inequality, and created design methodologies that can respond to and correct them. As part of her work, Fernandez will partner on the Mayor's Green New Deal agenda with the City departments, including the Boston Transportation Department, the Environment Department, Parks and Recreation, Mayor’s Office of Housing, Public Works, Public Facilities, Boston Public Schools, and Boston Public Libraries, along with the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture to align urban design efforts into a comprehensive vision for Boston.
