This paper examines the social learning process among a group of community resident and academic researchers working together on a Participatory Action Research study exploring the relationship between urban development and community health. Through a reflective case study of our collaborative data analysis team’s work, we highlight key social learning dynamics on our team, as well as key enabling conditions that fostered social learning. We offer considerations for intentionally designing social learning processes to enhance the contributions of community engagement in research and practice, and explore the implications of our findings for strengthening the relationship between knowledge and action in planning
