Planning Across Borders

Sustainability challenges intensify when regions cross national boundaries. This joint session from APA’s Sustainability and International Divisions compares three cross-border regions—San Diego–Tijuana, Lake Huron, and Belgium–Netherlands—highlighting how they navigate differing policies, governance, and resources to achieve sustainable outcomes. Three sub-panels and a closing discussion will share lessons and strategies for coordinated, resilient planning.

Hot Topic: Reimagining Heat Hazard Mitigation Through Art and Technology

Extreme heat is becoming one of the deadliest and most complex climate threats—and planners must adapt. But what if we approached heat hazard mitigation not just with data and infrastructure, but also with art, storytelling, and technology? Join the APA Arts and Planning Division, APA Technology Division, and the Hazard Mitigation and Disaster Recovery Planning Division for a solutions-focused conversation exploring how exploring how a multidisciplinary approach using creative and technological tools is key in reshaping the way planners can reshape the way planners understand, communicate, and respond to extreme heat.

LGBTQ Historic Context Statements: Ensuring history is understood for an inclusive future

Planning has long shaped the physical and social landscapes of our cities, sometimes to the detriment of LGBTQ communities, and sometimes in ways that have created space for visibility, safety, and resilience. This webinar explores how Historic Context Statements focused on LGBTQ history offer a critical tool for reckoning with past harms and guiding more inclusive planning practices going forward. Panelists from cities across the United States will discuss how they developed LGBTQ Historic Context Statements, what these documents revealed about the role of planning in both marginalizing and empowering queer communities, and how they are now influencing preservation, policy, and community engagement. The conversation will examine how zoning, urban renewal, and housing policy have historically displaced queer people, and how modern planning tools can begin to address that legacy. Attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of how LGBTQ history intersects with the planning profession—and how planners can help ensure this history is acknowledged, preserved, and honored through meaningful action.

Signs of the Times: Mastering Content-Neutral Ordinances

With two US Supreme Court cases dealing with sign regulations since 2015, and lower court cases percolating across the country today, the importance of crafting content-neutral sign codes is essential for communities seeking to balance free expression, legal compliance, and effective local governance. We all know that local regulations cannot be based on a sign’s message, yet many communities still struggle with translating these legal requirements into clear, useful local ordinances. This interactive webinar will equip planners, zoning officials, and code enforcement with the knowledge and tools needed to develop and implement sign codes that are robust, enforceable, and fully compliant with First Amendment standards. Attendees will learn the core legal definitions and take away practical strategies for ensuring their sign regulations are as “content neutral” as possible on their face and in their application. Real-world examples will be explored, highlighting both pitfalls and best practices - from addressing political and directional signs to managing digital signs and murals. Speakers include planners, academics and industry experts who have worked on sign codes across the country. Attendees will also receive a copy of the Sign Research Foundation’s publication on Content-Neutral Sign Codes After Reed and Austin.
