Planning Magazine
Eleven times a year, thousands of readers — planners and the public alike — turn to the latest Planning magazine. Each new issue is full of innovative ideas that are reshaping communities across America and around the world.
August/September 2017
Special Issue on Sustainability
What do Hawaii, Cuba, and Native American communities have in common? Resiliency — the special focus of Planning's August/September issue. In Hawaii, planners and officials are acting to mitigate the effects of climate change. Cuba became a model of "accidental resiliency" by maximizing use — and reuse — of limited resources for decades. In the Southwest, Native American communities call upon traditional beliefs and practices to help them plan, build, and grow in harmony with nature.
