Saving Historic and Vintage Signs

Historic and vintage signs are more than relics of the past. They are community landmarks that contribute to local identity, cultural heritage, tourism, and economic development. This session explores best practices for preserving and regulating these iconic assets through case studies from communities across the country. Participants will learn practical approaches to overcoming regulatory barriers, supporting restoration efforts, and incorporating historic signs into broader placemaking and downtown revitalization initiatives. Drawing on examples from Utah and beyond, the session will also provide historical context on the evolution of vintage signs and their enduring role as valued cultural and community assets. Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Sign Research Foundations’ Saving Historic & Vintage Signs.

Urban Walkabouts: Exploring in person experiential observation

Has desktop analysis replaced boots-on-the-ground in-person site observation? We think not. The APA’s Urban Design & Preservation Division introduces Seeing the City—an experiential initiative (inspired by the likes of William H. Whyte, Kevin Lynch and Jan Gehl) that explores how structured walkabouts, creative documentation, and reflective in-person analysis can deepen our understanding of place. Speakers including public and private sector urban designers and planners will break down pilot walkabouts that served as live research platforms highlighting how experiential observation puts us directly in touch with place and builds connections between participants.

When the Cloud Drops: Data Centers and Siting Considerations

As demand for digital infrastructure and AI accelerates, communities are facing increasing pressure to accommodate data centers that require significant land, water, and energy while potentially creating pollution, traffic, and environmental justice concerns. Promised economic benefits such as jobs and tax revenue may be overstated or unevenly distributed, leaving communities to bear environmental and infrastructure costs. This webinar will bring together experts to examine data center siting through the lenses of resource management, equity, and governance, equipping planners with practical strategies to critically assess proposals, advocate for accountability, elevate community priorities, and strengthen their negotiating positions.

Power of Place: Understanding Overburdened Communities Through Mapping

Understanding communities is vital to planning. State tools mapping cumulative environmental burden and social vulnerabilities can help planners. This session brings together four speakers from different states, representing California, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Michigan, to discuss the background and utility of their state environmental justice mapping and screening tools in the context of planning. Planners can use these tools to better understand communities in which they work and the cumulative burdens on community members. These tools can help them meet their planning goals of serving the public interest through equitable outreach and community engagement. Speakers will discuss the context of the various state tools in the legal framework of their states as well as the processes that led to the creation of the tools. This session will feature interactive elements to engage the audience including a poll to evaluate audience understanding of and background in Environmental Justice, as well as communities in their jurisdictions that are typically hard to reach and engage.

Autonomous Vehicles and their Relationship with Community and Climate Goals

The 2026 APA Trends Report used trends in transit funding and autonomous vehicle deployment to explore scenarios for the future of mobility and urged planners to act now to achieve the right balance between the two. This webinar will provide attendees with information, research, and tools that will make it easier to get started. Mackenize Love, AICP, Senior Program Manage at the Great Plains Institute will share a playbook for effective local government action around AVs; Dr. Kara Kockelman, Professor of Transportation Engineering, Economics & Public Affairs at UT Austin, will provide research-backed insights into the relationship between AVs and transit; and Tessa Sanchez, Head of Sustainability Policy at Uber, will offer an industry leader's perspectives on shared autonomous mobility.
