About
Zakcq Lockrem, AICP, is an urban planner and designer who loves working in the big picture, understanding how complex systems influence people’s lives, and how policy, programs, and physical projects can work together to sustain lasting impact in communities. He most enjoys working with low- and middle-income working-class communities like the one he grew up in as they navigate urban change, seek to build greater access to resources and opportunities for themselves and their children, and have more say in the changes that their community is experiencing.
With more than a decade of experience in developing complex urban strategies, Zakcq’s projects have received more than 30 state APA and ASLA awards, and three national APA awards. He has lived in Berlin, Boston, Houston, Ho Chi Minh City, and Austin, but is happy to have returned to his roots in south Minneapolis.
