Justin Moore

Justin Garrett Moore, FAICP, is the program director for the Humanities in Place program at the Mellon Foundation. His transdisciplinary work focuses on advancing equity, inclusion, and social justice through place-based initiatives and programs, built environments, cultural heritage projects, and commemorative spaces and landscapes. He has extensive experience in architecture, planning, and design—from urban systems, policies, and building projects to grassroots and community-focused planning, design, preservation, public realm, and arts initiatives.

During his fifteen years of public service with the City of New York prior to joining Mellon, Moore led several urban design and planning projects, including the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Waterfront, Hunter’s Point South, and the Brooklyn Cultural District. From 2016 to 2020, he was the executive director of the New York City Public Design Commission, where he spearheaded initiatives to address social equity and sustainability through improved built environment design and public processes. His work spanned affordable housing and community development, place and open space design, historic preservation, public art and monuments, and civic engagement.

Moore holds a Bachelor of Design degree from the University of Florida and Master of Architecture and Master of Science in Urban Design degrees from Columbia University, where he now serves as an adjunct associate professor of architecture. He has also taught at Morgan State University, Tuskegee University, and the Yale School of Architecture. His professional affiliations include the American Institute of Certified Planners, the National Organization of Minority Architects, the Urban Design Forum, and BlackSpace. Moore received the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Architecture and served on the United States Commission of Fine Arts from 2021 to 2025.
