Planning Trends
Digital impacts on the built environment
Digitalization — the shift away from physical spaces toward digital spaces — has accelerated and is impacting retail, work, transportation, and infrastructure needs. Catch up on the trends and learn about the implications for the built environment, our communities, and how we plan for them.
Developed in partnership between APA and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. |

Artificial Intelligence

AI may also automate some tasks traditionally performed by planners and create new areas of planning practice. Get resources and policy guidance on the effects of AI in your community through this APA Research KnowledgeBase Collection. |
