Winter 2021
In a time of massive flux, it can be hard to keep up — and know what to focus on. That's why Planning is taking a year-long look at the unexpected developments, existing challenges, and promising opportunities our communities are facing.
Spring 2021
The Spring edition of Planning magazine is all about adaption, agility, and flexibility. In this issue, planners repurpose old buildings into much-needed housing, create more inclusive public spaces, regulate newly legalized cannabis, and use digital twin city models to visualize the future.
