FutureShape participants further planning research
This fall, the APA Foundation will produce FutureShape, the first research agenda for the planning profession. Participants met in Chicago, August 5–6, to discuss the most important research questions facing planners today and anticipated in the future. Since September 2018, thought leaders from across the country have been serving on FutureShape workgroups to engage the research community through a convening of academics, researchers, planners, and allies to build an authoritative blueprint for the impact of planning in the 21st century.
