Sign Regulations
SCOTUS validates sign regulations
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a sign regulatory technique that has been in use for nearly 100 years. The court ruled that the City of Austin's off-premises sign regulations were permissible under the First Amendment. The decision aligns with the amicus brief APA filed in the case, urging the court to adopt clear rules for billboard regulations. Read more about the decision. |

Ethics
Addressing issues of power
Peter Marcuse, who passed in March, was an early advocate of equity and ethics in the planning profession. In his 1976 article for the Journal of the American Institute of Planners (the precursor to JAPA), Marcuse called for the ethics code to "broaden decision making beyond the presently powerful." Over the past half century, the AICP Code of Ethics has evolved, and the most recent update further strengthens the roles and responsibilities of planners to be proponents of equity and inclusion. |
