Planning the Autonomous Future

Is scenario planning crucial to designing the autonomous future? Lisa Nisenson, founder of Greater Places and advisor to Alta Planning + Design, thinks it is. In Episode 5 of the Planning the Autonomous Future podcast series, she talks with APA's Jennifer Henaghan, AICP, and Kelly Coyner about scenario planning, how it became an essential planning tool, and how it works in the context of automation. This podcast and the entire series are available on APA's website, iTunes, and Stitcher.

Two recently completed projects by the Water Research Foundation also examined opportunities for collaboration between planning and water resource management: Integrating Land Use and Water Resources: Planning to Support Water Supply Diversification and Joining-Up Urban Water Management with Urban Planning and Design.

The latter work was summarized in the May/June 2018 PAS Memo, which is free for APA members.
