Lisa Redfield Peattie (1924–2018)[1][2] was an American anthropologist and professor of urban anthropology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She was best known for her work in advocacy planning, a type of urban planning which seeks social change by including all interests and groups in the planning process.[3] Peattie, who earned her Ph.D. from University of Chicago in 1968,[4] published extensively on slums and squatter settlements. She also engaged in numerous peace actions, and had a long, although minor and nonviolent, arrest record.[5][6]
