Ulises states that,  In 2007, when I was applying for urban planning grad school I said to myself: “In the long run, I would like to give back to my community by becoming a … planner for the City of Los Angeles...Becoming a professional city planner will give me the power to have a direct impact on my community. I hope that one day my decisions will impact policy that will benefit the general public.” I am happy to accomplish one of my goals and be a public servant in my hometown. #Planning4All Los Angeles Department of City Planning announces via facebook: PLANNER SPOTLIGHT: Meet Ulises Gonzalez, City Planning Associate at the Metro Development Services Center's Housing Unit.
