For the first time since 1997, the American Planning Association’s Policy on Historic & Cultural Resources is getting a long-overdue update. The Urban Design and Historic Preservation Division has gathered insights from planners and preservationists nationwide and is ready to share the final draft before it goes to the APA Board. This session will examine the current policy, explore key recommendations from the field, and highlight proposed updates addressing pressing planning issues—housing needs, climate change, and emerging technologies. Join us for a deep dive into the future of preservation policy and its impact on planning.
