Each of four sessions is designed to help local officials and their staffs gain a richer understanding of current planning and development issues facing American communities. The presenters include elected and appointed officials, planning directors, land use attorneys, developers, planning consultants, policy researchers and academic researchers. Each one-hour session is held on a Wednesday at 4 pm, Eastern Standard Time. Questions can be faxed to the speakers before or during the program. Registration provides access to the designated telephone number for the program, as well as reading materials, an agenda and instructions about asking questions.
Participants can register for one or more programs or purchase a tape and transcript of any program.
