National Planning Conference 2023

The American Planning Association‘s National Planning Conference 2023 will be held in Philadelphia, Apr. 1-4, 2023. Interestingly, it will then be streamed Apr. 26-28, 2023.

The focus for this year’s program will include sessions on these topics:

• Climate Emergency
• Digitalization
• Diversification of Transportation
• Future of Work, Upskilling and Reskilling
• Health Equity and Nature
• Housing Affordability, Availability, and Accessibility
• Implementation of Federal Programs and Grants
• Political Shifts and Polarization
• Population Diversity and Inclusive Design

Someday, the APA might also embrace planning for nighttime economies … which could be pulled out of each of the topics above and made its own point of focus.
