From Old to New and Newer

The Spring edition of Planning magazine is all about adaption, agility, and flexibility. In this issue, planners repurpose old buildings into much-needed housing, create more inclusive public spaces, regulate newly legalized cannabis, and use digital twin city models to visualize the future. Plus: zoning reform, tackling transportation barriers to mass vaccination, historic preservation and LGBTQ communities, and much more.
