Planning Connects Us.

Help shape the education program for next year's National Planning Conference in San Francisco! Stay tuned for scholarship opportunities for registration costs through the UPC!

It's rare for planning students to have the National Conference in their region while going to school. Don't miss out! 

Alex Schafran will be discussing his new book "The Road to Segregation: Northern California and the Failure of Politics."

Richard Ojeco will be discussing Craft Economies and Smaller Cities, the topic of his new book "Masters of Craft."

This interactive workshop is built around attendees’
interests. Following a brief introduction of "A Guide
for the Idealist" and the concept of principled
adaptability, attendees complete a questionnaire
about their professional practice questions.
 

The facilitator will then lead a discussion around those
topics. Attendees leave with an enhanced framework
for understanding their practice and making
effective decisions.
