Planning February 2018

Everybody Moves

February's Planning cover story, "Inclusive Mobility," spotlights transportation systems based on universal design principles that facilitate movement by all community residents, regardless of age or ability. "In Defense of the Bus" gives props to a proven but often-overlooked transit mode, and "Better Together," the latest in Planning's "Business of Planning" series, offers five tested strategies for improving planner/developer communications.
