An APA/AICP national survey found that 78 percent of voters believe it is important for Congress to help communities solve problems associated with urban growth and land use. Americans believe that federal government can be a vital partner in promoting community livability and smart growth.
Each year APA adopts a slate of legislative priorities and a platform for policies to advance planning. These priorities guide APA’s advocacy work and outline the actions Congress should take to improve planning and the nation’s communities.
APA develops policy guides that represent the collective thinking of our members on vital issues facing the nation. The guides articulate specific policy positions and establish key principles for APA.
