OU Urban Design Studio alumnus Paulina Baeza was recently honored with the Tulsa’s Young Professionals (TYPros) Boomtown “Urban Advocate Award,” which recognizes supporters of urban revitalization to enhance Tulsa’s quality of life and attract young professionals.

A statement describing Baeza’s contributions in the Tulsa World said, “Paulina Baeza often shies away from the spotlight, but her work to make Tulsa a more connected, walkable and bikeable city speaks for itself. As a transportation planner at INCOG, Paulina works to create solutions for the transportation challenges our city faces today and in the future. Paulina is perhaps best known for her community activism and strong support of east Tulsa. Through her graduate school research, Paulina created an area plan for the 21st and Garnett corridor and works to ensure the multicultural diversity of the area is celebrated.”
