National Planning Conference
As communities continue to navigate the effects of the pandemic, NPC22 is an opportunity to reconnect and re-envision post-pandemic futures. The program is focused on seven core areas, developed through peer discussion and research into areas most likely to be agents of change in the planning profession. Program areas include: Climate Change Impacts and Action, Economic Restructuring, Housing and Zoning, Agile Planning Methods and Approaches, Leveraging Technology, Planning with Intention for Inclusion and Equity, and Transportation and Infrastructure.
For the first time ever, NPC will offer two distinct, complementary experiences for planners to connect. After two years of virtual-only conferences, this year planners can attend in-person and online. Each venue will have unique content and sessions. Join us in San Diego April 30–May 3 to celebrate a return to in-person connection, or meet us online May 18–20.
