October is National Community Planning Month.Each year, the American Planning Association (APA) sponsors this program to raise awareness of role of planners and planning play in communities across the United States. This year's National Community Planning Month theme, Civic Engagement, underscores the necessity of engaging the public, elected officials, and key leaders in discussions that shape the future of our cities. The theme emphasizes that thoughtful community planning cannot happen without meaningful civic engagement.
