Reflecting on an Enlightening Experience at the APA National Planning Conference! Last week, from April 13th to 16th, I had the immense privilege of attending my first APA's National Planning Conference in Minneapolis. As a current Masters student in Regional Planning, this was not only my inaugural planning conference but also a phenomenal opportunity to apply the knowledge I've acquired over my first two semesters! The conference was a deep dive into the core areas of equity, community, and transportation. Each session provided valuable insights into their implementation within the US context, greatly enhancing my understanding and appreciation of the intricate planning processes. One of the highlights was participating in the workshop on "Long Range Planning Implementation in the Midway Neighborhood." It was fascinating to see how planners are navigating the complex political landscape while balancing the needs and perspectives of local neighborhoods and developers, particularly in relation to Transit-Oriented Development goals in the Hamline Midway Neighborhood of the Twin Cities. I left the conference enriched with knowledge and eager for more such academically stimulating experiences. The journey of learning and applying urban planning principles continues, and I am excited about the endless possibilities ahead! #APAConference #UrbanPlanning #CommunityDevelopment #Equity #Transportation #RegionalPlanning
