What are the major challenges facing our society in the next decades—and how do they impact the work of planners? In 2011 fellows from APA chapters in the burgeoning Pacific Northwest organized a symposium to explore these questions. The group has since created a regional vision, developed a research agenda, and initiated a process for legislative reform. Learn how they accomplished this and help define a game-changing “livability strategy” for the community of tomorrow.
