Planning Magazine
Eleven times a year, thousands of readers — planners and the public alike — turn to the latest Planning magazine. Each new issue is full of innovative ideas that are reshaping communities across America and around the world.
June 2018
In June, Planning tells a range of planning stories. Read about the challenges facing cities that host massive summer music festivals like Lollapalooza (Chicago) and Coachella (Indio, California); rural West Virginia communities that are struggling to reinvent themselves in a post-coal economy; and planners working with tactical urbanists in small and mid-sized towns who often are able to do what local governments cannot — find and execute creative, speedy solutions to small-scale planning problems.
