Diana runs PlanPhilly’s community outreach and engagement online and in real life. She has spent more than ten years in the non-profit and public sectors working on urban development issues including environmental justice, design-based manufacturing, and community and economic development.  Prior to joining PlanPhilly, Diana worked as the Director of Partnerships and Outreach for 10,000 Small Businesses, a public-private initiative focused strengthening local businesses through revenue generation and local job creation. She holds a Masters in City Planning from PennDesign and a B.A. in Urban Studies and French from Vassar College.  Her work and obsessions keep her active at the street level, which makes her a most excellent walking tour guide and local food aficionado.  Diana has lived and relied on public transit in Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, San Francisco and Paris, but became a proud SEPTA rider in 2009.  Her beloved pit bull Darla was born and raised in the River Wards.  Follow Diana on instagram @dianaluwho and email her at dlu@whyy.org.
