Urban Planning

[close] A no-pressure, VIRTUAL book group for like-minded lovers of planning for community, sustainability, social equity, etc. Geared toward professional planners but open to planners-at-heart, too! This is for fun mostly, but also to keep fresh with our knowledge and perspective so we can continue to make a difference and stay relevant. As we get further and further away from our schooling as planners there are so many new points of view and research coming out about all things planning - sustainability, transportation, parking, placemaking, equity, design and on and on and on.

[close] A DC Urban Planning Book Club We meet in DC on the first Wednesday of even-numbered months to discuss books about transportation, transit, and urban planning, at home and abroad. (Note that since the start of the pandemic, we moved to meeting online rather than in-person, and as we now have a number of non-DC-local regular members, are remaining online in 2023.) Although we try to keep our bookshelves here up-to-date with currently reading, previously read, and books we're considering reading, most of the active members of the group prefer to use Facebook for our events and sharing links, so look on our group there (linked as the group website) for more details.
