We've been furiously planning the last few years, especially with infusions of state and federal funding and new programs, and more is on the way. We've been reinventing the way we plan to be more equitable, more holistic, more sustainable, more collaborative. Planners and friends, can we take a step back and talk about how that planning is going?

Have you reached a wall? Are you following the same old playbook? Can planners foster innovation, ambition, collaboration, creativity, and energy to move the discipline forward? Yes! Learn about inll housing and transportation infrastructure examples from the City of Sacramento and Happy Camp. Each pushes beyond the usual formula of preparing a data driven technical analysis, receiving community input at a meeting or two, and writing the plan/policy/ordinance. The session will focus on how these examples have been transformed to be more equitable, holistic, sustainable,and collaborative eorts–especially with other communities and professional disciplines.
