About Jeffery Tompkins
Jeffery Tompkins is an award-winning urban planner, architectural illustrator, and entrepeneur with a passion for co-creating place. With over a decade of experience, he focuses on the intersection of urban planning, regulatory frameworks, and reparative urbanism. Tompkins has spearheaded transformative anchor institution and district planning projects, including participating in the planning of the Indy Health District—the largest such district in the United States—while advancing critical discussions on zoning reform across the country. A native of the Rust Belt, Jeffery challenges hegemonic systems with place-based approaches that prioritize wealth-building and community co-creation in historically disinvested areas. As a key planner in over $2 billion in investment, he views cities as complex, adaptive systems, advocating for placekeeping before placemaking. In his spare time, Jeffery is a constant reader, bicycle-enjoyer, avid Chicago Cubs baseball fan, and a proud cat dad. He is writing a book on his planning philosophy, tentatively titled How to Make Places Go.
